New York City is facing significant population decline, with 1.7 million residents leaving NY and 350,000 from NJ, driven by high taxes and crime; this exodus benefits red states like Texas, where Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000 sq ft campus in Dallas.
The NBA betting scandal involving the Gambino crime family raises serious questions about LeBron James's future Hall of Fame status due to his business partner Maverick Carter's admitted history of illegal sports betting.
Steve Bannon and Bill Maher are speculating on Trump running for a third term in 2028, with Bannon claiming it is 'inevitable' despite the 22nd Amendment, while Trump officially rules it out but leaves the door open via a VP loophole.
Sweden's court system refused to deport a rape convict because the assault 'wasn't long enough,' highlighting broader issues with migration and crime in Europe that hosts link to 'suicidal empathy' and open border policies.
