Month: June 2024

In a landmark legal battle, the NFL and its former partner DirecTV are set to face a $6 billion class-action lawsuit over their “Sunday Ticket” package, which has long been a point of contention among fans and businesses. The lawsuit, originally filed in 2015, claims that the exclusive arrangement between the NFL and DirecTV forces consumers to purchase a bundled package of all out-of-market games rather than allowing them to select specific games, leading to inflated costs for viewers (Cord Cutters News) (Cord Cutters News) .

The lawsuit gained momentum when a U.S. District Judge in California granted it class-action status in February 2023. This decision divides the plaintiffs into two groups: individual residential subscribers and commercial establishments such as sports bars. The residential class comprises about 2.4 million members, while the commercial class includes around 48,000 entities.

A class-action case over the NFL’s “Sunday Ticket” package is finally headed to trial in a fundamental challenge to the league’s media-rights model https://t.co/FdozJ56cx1 https://t.co/FdozJ56cx1

The core of the plaintiffs’ argument is that the NFL’s exclusive contract with DirecTV, which lasted until the end of the 2022-23 season, constituted an antitrust violation. They allege that this arrangement prevented individual NFL teams from negotiating their own broadcast deals, effectively monopolizing the market and forcing fans to pay for a comprehensive package to view their preferred out-of-market games.

Despite several attempts by the NFL and DirecTV to dismiss the case, including a bid to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020, the lawsuit has persisted. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals revived the case in 2019, finding sufficient grounds to proceed based on the argument that the licensing deals were part of a conspiracy to limit the availability of NFL telecasts.

What does this have to do with me? I have the NFL Sunday Ticket since 2005.

With the trial scheduled for June 2024, the stakes are high for the NFL. If the league loses, it could face damages exceeding $6 billion. This amount is based on claims that the NFL and DirecTV’s practices forced consumers and businesses to pay more than necessary for access to NFL games .

In a significant shift, the NFL’s Sunday Ticket package has now moved to Google’s YouTube TV starting with the 2023 season. This change reflects the growing trend towards streaming services and cord-cutting. However, the lawsuit remains focused on the period during which DirecTV held the exclusive rights.

The NFL has maintained its stance that the Sunday Ticket package does not violate antitrust laws, arguing that all NFL games are available through various means and that the package offers a comprehensive viewing experience. Despite these defenses, the court has found enough merit in the plaintiffs’ claims to move forward with the trial.

As the trial date approaches, the outcome could have far-reaching implications for the way professional sports leagues negotiate broadcast rights and package deals. For now, the legal battle continues, with millions of dollars and the future structure of sports broadcasting on the line.

There once was a time when the southern European countries were the ones dealing with the heavy burden of the unchecked mass migration to the EU.

But now the dystopian consequences of the influx millions of poor migrants – from sometimes incompatible cultures – are felt all over the old continent.

This week central and eastern Europe also got their taste of catastrophe with two stabbings that claimed the lives of two police officers, in Germany and in Poland.

To begin with, we see how highly unpopular German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is all but ready to sing ‘Auslander Raus’ (Foreigners out).

The gruesome killing of a police officer by a 25-year-old Afghan failed asylum seeker (a.k.a. illegal migrant) put German Chancellor Olaf Scholz under considerable pressure as the European Elections unfold.

Radicalized Migrant stabs cop in the neck.

Scholz has to at least pretend to take a tougher stance on migration to minimize the expected far right gains.

Politico reported:

“In a speech to parliamentarians on Thursday, Scholz pledged to deport migrants from Afghanistan and Syria who have committed crimes despite the fact that those countries are ruled by repressive regimes.

‘It outrages me when someone who has found protection here commits the most serious crimes’, Scholz said. ‘Such criminals should be deported, even if they come from Syria or Afghanistan. Germany’s interest in security outweighs the offender’s interest in protection’.”

It’s not the first instance in which he has vowed to take a tougher stance on migration.

There’s already some legislation in place authorizing authorities to deport migrants whose asylum claims have been rejected.

“However, carrying out such deportations in practice, even for those convicted of serious crimes, remains difficult. Germany stopped deportations to Afghanistan in 2021 after the Taliban returned to power. Syria continues to be ruled by Bashar al-Assad, whose government has committed horrific atrocities against its own people.”

The widespread outrage by the the brutal stabbing of a police officer by the Afghan Islamic radical makes Scholz take a tougher stance on deportations.

But implementing these proposals is a different ballgame.

The new mantra is: ‘National security is more important than protecting the interests of extremists’.

Marrier in the Polish-Belarusian border.

Even Poland, a country with much more strict migration policies than Germany and border barriers, is not immune to it.

And apparently, the illegal migrants don’t even have to enter your territory to bring about death.

Deutsche Welle reported:

“A Polish soldier who was stabbed on the country’s border with Belarus in May has died from his injuries, Poland’s military announced on Thursday.

It said the soldier was allegedly stabbed in the chest by a migrant who reached through a fence erected on the border to prevent illegal crossings.”

The Polish Foreign Ministry demanded Minsk authorities hand over the soldier’s killer.

“Poland and the EU claim many of the migrants attempting to cross into the country are organized and aided by Russia and its ally Belarus as part of an attempt destabilize Europe.”

The perpetrator of the attack has not been identified.

Warsaw announced €2.3 billion ($2.5 billion) to strengthen its eastern border and a 200-meter (656-foot) buffer zone.

“In 2022, Poland erected a 5.5-meter-high fence and an electronic surveillance system. But according to the Polish Border Guard, there have already been more than 17,000 attempted crossings in the first five months of 2024.”

A horrifying incident unfolded at a circus in Russia when a roller-skating bear attacked its trainer in front of a terrified audience. The shocking event took place during a performance where the bear was forced to roller-skate, a spectacle that quickly turned into a nightmare as the animal lashed out, prompting screams and panic among the children in attendance.

The bear, visibly distressed, suddenly turned on its trainer, biting and clawing at him. The trainer, who was attempting to make the bear perform tricks on roller skates, was caught off guard. Other circus staff rushed to intervene, using metal bars and other means to subdue the bear and rescue the trainer. Despite their efforts, the chaotic scene left the audience, particularly the children, traumatized.

This incident has reignited the debate over the ethics and safety of using wild animals in circus performances. Animal rights activists have long condemned such practices, arguing that forcing animals to perform unnatural acts is both cruel and dangerous. The bear’s attack underscores the inherent risks involved in these spectacles, not only for the trainers but also for the audience.

The trainer was taken to the hospital with serious injuries but is expected to recover. Meanwhile, the circus has temporarily halted its performances involving animals. Officials have not yet decided on the future of the bear, which may face euthanasia depending on the outcome of the investigation.

Witnesses reported that the bear appeared agitated even before the attack, a common issue when animals are subjected to stressful conditions. The bear’s roller-skating act, designed to entertain, turned into a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of wild animals and the potential for tragedy when they are placed in unnatural environments.

The use of animals in circuses has been banned in several countries, but it remains legal in Russia, where traditional circus performances continue to draw crowds. This incident is likely to add momentum to calls for stricter regulations or an outright ban on such practices. Animal welfare organizations are urging authorities to take immediate action to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The psychological impact on the children who witnessed the attack cannot be overstated. Many parents have expressed outrage, questioning the safety measures in place and the decision to expose children to potentially dangerous performances. The circus has promised to review its safety protocols and offer counseling to those affected by the traumatic event.

As the investigation continues, the broader issue of animal welfare in entertainment remains in the spotlight. Advocates for animal rights are seizing this moment to push for comprehensive changes, emphasizing that the well-being of animals should never be sacrificed for the sake of human amusement.

This shocking incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks associated with using wild animals in entertainment, and it raises important questions about the moral and ethical responsibilities of those who profit from such performances. The world watches as Russia grapples with the fallout and considers potential reforms to protect both animals and people from future harm.

Dr. Jeff Gunter (left) interviews with TGP correspondent Jordan Conradson (right)

OP-ED by Nevada US Senate Candidate Dr. Jeff Gunter, MD:

As a former U.S. Ambassador for President Trump, I have witnessed more corruption than most people can imagine. President Trump was right when he said that the true threat to the Republican Party is the enemy from within. 

During my tenure as ambassador, China was unleashing bioweapons, and I was criticized for fighting back. I was unanimously confirmed to my position and I have donated millions and volunteered countless hours to serve Republican leadership. I even contributed to Senate election chief Steve Daines, and he had no problem accepting my money. 

For 17 years, I have sat on the board of the Republican Jewish Coalition. I have treated cancer patients, saving the lives of children, veterans, family, and friends. I know exactly what it’s like to fight outside enemies. But what this race has taught me is that the enemy fighting from within is more dangerous than any adversary.

I declared my candidacy in July of 2023, poised to start strong. Then, I received a call from my general consultant informing me that they received a threat from the NRSC, threatening to pull over $20 million of business from the group if they continued to support me. Consequently, they abandoned me. A similar call came from my friends at the RJC, who received similar threats. We lost vendors, donors, and belief in the system.

But we fought on and gained ground. The harder we fought, the more corruption we encountered. Republicans, heavily led by the NRSC RINO Swamp, spent more time and money fighting me than fighting Democrats. They insulted my patients and even suggested I needed professional help. They called me a crackpot and a weirdo.

I’ve always said that President Trump is the Deep State’s worst enemy. They know this, and so they work tirelessly to keep him down. And just like President Trump, I won’t be fazed by these efforts.

The level of corruption and betrayal I have seen from within the party is staggering. It’s not just about money or power; it’s about a complete disregard for the principles and values that we, as Republicans, are supposed to stand for. The NRSC and other party elites have shown that they are more interested in maintaining their control and influence than in supporting candidates who genuinely want to make a difference. They support a candidate who stole money from the people of Nevada to pay off his own debts through a “Scam” PAC. A ghost candidate who refuses to debate and is down 14 points in general election polls. 

I have often wondered if this resistance is driven by antisemitism, as the NRSC hasn’t supported a Jewish candidate in decades, or if it’s simply because my record shows that I won’t be intimidated. They see my strength, my resilience, and my dedication to fighting for what is right, and they feel threatened. But Nevada, take note: I will never stop fighting.

When I become the next United States Senator from this great Silver State, the corruption ends on day one. I will work tirelessly to ensure that the voices of the people are heard and that the true values of our party are upheld.

The Republican Party is at a crossroads. It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to say enough is enough. We must hold our leaders accountable and demand that they put the interests of the people above their own. We must root out the corruption and ensure that our party is one that we can all be proud of.

I will continue to stand strong, to fight for what is right, and to represent the people of Nevada with honor and integrity. Together, we can bring about the change that we so desperately need. Together, we can restore the Republican Party to its true greatness. Thank you for your support, and God bless America.

Dr. Jeffrey Gunter, MD, is an American healthcare executive, philanthropist, diplomat, and former U.S. Ambassador serving as the 24th United States Ambassador to Iceland. He is currently a candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada.

Last week, President Trump was convicted in the New York case brought by DA Alvin Bragg, who ran for the office under the promise of “get Trump.”  The President was convicted on 34 felony counts of “falsifying business records” in regards to alleged repayments of what the prosecution claimed were “hush money” payments made by his then-attorney and now-convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.

The jury deliberated for a little over nine hours before deciding on a still-unknown predicate crime assumed to be federal campaign violations.  Judge Merchan bizarrely gave instructions to the jurors that they could all agree that a crime was committed, beyond the falsifying charges, but didn’t necessarily have to agree unanimously on which crime was committed.

While that crime was never defined, it nonetheless gave Bragg the authority to bring the 34 misdemeanor counts as felonies, thus negating the statute of limitations.  Elevating these misdemeanors to felonies is in contradiction to Bragg typically downgrading felonies to misdemeanors in over half of the felony cases his office has tried, according to The Daily Mail. 

President Trump was supposed to be sentenced on July 11th, however, a new development could call into question the entire case.  The day before the conviction was handed down, a Facebook user by the name “Michael Anderson” commented that Trump was going to be convicted, sourcing that claim to his cousin, who he claimed was on the jury.

Judge Merchan issued a letter to all parties today stating:

Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention.  In the comment, the user, “Michael Anderson,” states:

‘My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted.  Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

Uh oh! It looks like there was juror misconduct in the #TrumpTrial!

We knew these jurors would not be able to avoid telling their friends and relatives that were going to get Trump

It’s time for a mistrial “with prejudice” and no retrial!

There are easy ways and hard ways to run a freeze-dried survival beef company in America. The easy way is to go with whatever governments and globalists want for us as they continue their attacks against the real meat industry. The hard way is to approach the system with the wellbeing of the people — and therefore the nation — as the guiding principle in all business matters.

That’s why Jason Nelson, CEO of Prepper All Naturals, decided the country needed a better way to stock up on long-term storage beef. A former U.S. Congressional candidate, Nelson served in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines so he knows about serving the nation.

“I started off as a consumer ordering survival beef,” Nelson said. “That’s all it took to make me realize the industry was in desperate need of a makeover. Have you ever tried the ‘beef’ they sell?”

Nelson’s company is the only one in America that offers high-quality cuts of beef rather than the standard “prepper beef” that’s usually made from the cheapest meat available.

Use promo code “TGP15” at checkout for 15% off.

Click here to see all that Prepper All Naturals has to offer!

“My partners and I all agreed on three things we would never accept when we launched the company,” Nelson said. “No lab-grown meat, no mRNA jabs, and no ‘beef crumbles’ ever.”

Globalists like Bill Gates and members of the World Economic Forum are heavily promoting companies that are trying to sell “cultured meat” as a substitute for the real thing. Legislation is in play in several states that will not only allow lab-grown beef to be sold at grocery stories and restaurants, but to also keep that fact a secret from consumers. Lab-grown chicken has already been approved by the federal government in this manner and will be hitting stores this fall.

Injecting cows with mRNA “vaccines” is also in the works. Some say it will happen this year. Others say it will happen in 2024. mRNA “vaccines” have been injected into pigs since 2018, yet most Americans are completely unaware due to lack of transparency and no labeling requirements.

As for “beef crumbles,” Nelson’s company takes pride in offering the whole cow… well, most of it. Their cattle are purchased from trusted Texas ranchers and butchered locally. Then, the ground beef and lower quality cuts of meat are sold wholesale to other meat companies. Prepper All Naturals keeps the best beef from their cattle and turns it into cubes that can remain fresh for over a decade without refrigeration.

“We send our cattle to the slaughterhouse where we have them custom sliced to ideal sizes for long-term storage,” he said. “Then, we sous vide the beef, freeze-dry it, and package it in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to maintain maximum freshness for years.”

With beef prices going up and the cattle industry under attack from globalists, it behooves Americans to stock up at Prepper All Naturals. Don’t forget to use promo code “TGP15” at checkout!

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, the transgender psychopath and killer responsible for the tragic mass shooting at Covenant School in March 2023, reportedly used federal Pell Grant funds to purchase firearms and training.

The Tennessee Star reports that Hale purchased seven guns with the grant money, three of which were recovered from the scene of the crime.

Brian Wilson, an afternoon radio host at 99.7 WTN, revealed on Wednesday that Hale “took money from an education grant she received to purchase her weapons and to pay for training at a local gun range.”

The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) recovered four additional guns from Hale’s parents’ home in the Belmont-Hillsboro neighborhood. However, MNPD declined to provide further information regarding the make and model of the guns or their cost, citing protection of materials included in the open investigative file.

Covenant killer Audrey Hale used Federal Pell Grant funds to purchase guns she used in mass murder of 6 people at Christian school in Nashville. https://t.co/AeXEQdEg2U

— MichaelPatrick Leahy (@michaelpleahy) June 7, 2024

The Tennessee Star reported:

Wilson’s report called the money Hale received an “education grant,” meaning Hale received a federal Pell grant as it is the only “grant” listed on [Nossi College of Art in Nashville] financial aid page.

The maximum amount one can receive from a Pell grant can change from year to year, but as of the 2024-2025 school year, students can receive a maximum of $7,395 for a school year, according to the Federal Student Aid office’s website. That amount is determined by how much a student’s parents are expected to contribute to the cost of college, the information a student puts on their FAFSA form, whether a student is attending school full time, and how long they plan to attend.

According to a transcript obtained by The Tennessee Star of an interview of Hale’s parents by police, Hale began to use her own income to fill out her FAFSA forms when she turned 25, according to her parents. This likely would have been 2020, considering Hale was born in 1995.

Hale’s parents suggest that she filled out at least one FAFSA form using her parents’ income. Assuming Hale completed a four-year degree and considering she graduated in 2022, she likely began taking classes at Nossi in 2018.

Students can continue to receive Pell grants yearly until they receive their degree or until their eligibility runs out. Pell grants can be applied to a student’s cost by the school or be given to a student directly.

Hale’s parents, Ronald and Norma Hale, have said that Audrey controlled the grant money she received in a savings account.

Earlier, The Gateway Pundit reported that new revelations have surfaced from the leaked manifesto of Audrey Elizabeth Hale, shedding light on the twisted thoughts and motivations of the psychopath responsible for the tragic March 27, 2023, massacre.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs halted all team activities after defensive lineman BJ Thompson suffered a seizure and soon after went into cardiac arrest during a special teams meeting.

In a statement on Thursday night, Thompson’s agent Chris Turnage said, “BJ is still unconscious at this point, but he’s stable, and his vitals are good.”

“His family asks for your continued prayers,” added Turnage.

Despite canceling all activities on Thursday, the Chiefs are expected to resume practice on Friday.

Per The New York Post:

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end BJ Thompson is “still unconscious” but “stable” following a terrifying medical episode Thursday when he suffered a seizure in a special teams meeting and went into cardiac arrest.

“BJ is still unconscious at this point, but he’s stable and vitals are good. His family asks for your continued prayers,” Thompson’s agent, Chris Turnage, said in a statement Thursday night to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The Chiefs canceled team activities Thursday in the wake of Thompson’s scare, with medical personnel acting swiftly.

Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spoke briefly on the matter later in the day when attending a charity softball game.

“Let me say this before I say anything, I’m thinking about BJ right now,” Spagnuolo said, according to Fox 4 KC.

The fake news media is working overtime to help Joe Biden’s reelection bid.

The disastrous May jobs report was released on Friday: According to the BLS, nonfarm payrolls expanded by 272,000 – ‘better than expected’ and the unemployment rate rose to 4% (this number is also a lie).

But the fake news media is spinning the abysmal report to help Joe Biden.

“U.S. adds a much-better-than-expected 272,000 jobs in May, but unemployment rate edges up to 4%” – CNBC boasted on Friday.

Fake News CNN really hyped up the May jobs report.

“US economy added a whopping 272,000 jobs in May” CNN’s headline read.

“Key takeaways from the blowout May jobs report,” another CNN headline read.

Axios also carried the water for the Biden Regime with a hysterical headline.

“The boom in hiring shows the labor market is still strong, defying other indications that it’s cooling,” Axios absurdly claimed.

BREAKING: The U.S. economy added 272,000 jobs in May.

— Axios (@axios) June 7, 2024

There is no boom in hiring.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics double counts people with multiple jobs which is why they say nonfarm payrolls, not workers.

Most of the jobs added were in healthcare, government, leisure and hospitality (seasonal).

Full-time workers: -625,000
Part-time workers: +286,000

Native-born workers: -663,000
Foreign-born workers (including illegal aliens): +414,000

Here’s the truth via Zero Hedge:

On the surface, it was a blockbuster jobs report, certainly one which nobody expected, with the two largest US banks – JPMorgan and JPM – both expecting a below-consensus print at 150K and 165K, respectively (well we did, and we said that the jobs print “will beat” shortly before it was published)

Goldman (165K) and JPM (150k) are below the median NPF estimate of 180k.

It will beat. pic.twitter.com/v2UxP2TBky

— zerohedge (@zerohedge) June 7, 2024

Starting at the top, the BLS reported that in May the US unexpectedly added a whopping 272K payrolls, not workers since the establishment survey double-counts multiple jobs even if held by the same employee, which was 50% higher than the consensus forecast of 180K and 14K more than the highest Wall Street estimate (258K from Regions Bank).

In fact, this was a 4-sigma beat to estimate, unheard of in the past year.
