Sam Bankman-Fried's family reportedly called his Bahamian jail to request special vegan meals for him.
The disgraced 'crypto king' was charged this week with multiple financial crimes following the shock collapse of FTX and its partner Alameda Research. On Tuesday, he was denied $250,000 cash bail and an ankle monitor and is currently residing in the Fox Hill jail. But he is reportedly being kept on the hospital wing and away from the general population inmates. SBF's attorneys previously argued his vegan diet is a reason he should be released as he awaits his February 8 extradition hearing.
They also asked the court to consider his daily medications, which include

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reportedly removed statistics on defensive gun use in the U.S. following pressure from gun control advocates. The stats sourced from a CDC-commissioned study finding that instances of defensive gun use occur between 60,000 and 2.5 million times per year. References to that study were deleted from the site following private meetings with gun control advocates in 2021, emails obtained and published by The Reload show.
"[T]hat 2.5 Million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again and buried again,"

Taylor Lorenz, a semi-prominent China apologist and internet reporter at the failing Washington Post, on Tuesday lashed out at a fellow journalist in a Twitter tirade many people are calling anti-Semitic.
The target: Bari Weiss, the successful Substack writer and friend of the Washington Free Beacon. Lorenz reacted poorly to an Axios article about Weiss's new media company, the Free Press, and decided to vent her rage on the immigrant-owned social networking website. "Notable what gets framed as a ‘buzzy media startup,'" Lorenz seethed. "If u start off rich, have a rich spouse, rich friends, don't follow any journalistic ethical rules

Former National Economic Council director Larry Summers said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andre a Mitchell Reports” that the U.S. economy will have a recession.
Summer said, “I think the market is expecting, and I think that the market is probably right that inflation will come down from its current levels. There is still a question of whether it will stay down and how much we have to do to make sure that it stays down, I think it’s still a question. And whether it can be brought down to stay down without a recession is a very large question.”
He continued, “My guess is that the Fed will, in the end

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is mad at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after Powell announced that the Fed was going to raise interest rates another half a percent. “He’s pushing hard to get more people fired because he thinks that is one way to help bring down inflation,” Warren told HuffPost on Wednesday. “But it’s sure painful for the families who lose their jobs.”
Yes, it is painful if you lose your job. Perhaps Warren’s boss, Joe Biden, should have thought about that before pouring $5 trillion into the economy,
And it’s not only Powell who thinks this is “one way to help bring down inflation.” It’s every

A pilot ejected following the crash of a Lockheed F-35B Lightning II jet on a Texas runway Thursday.
Police responded at approximately 10:15 a.m. to emergency calls from both Naval police and Lockheed Martin saying that a fighter jet had crashed at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and that the pilot had ejected, White Settlement, Texas, police chief Chris Cook said in a video shot by a local Fox affiliate.
“When we arrived, we were pleased that we didn’t see a big plume of smoke, nothing like that, so we felt like, ‘OK, thoughts and prayers with the pilot, maybe they’re going to be fine,’”

New York - Christmas is just 10 days away, and investors hoping for a Santa Claus rally have found little holiday cheer on Wall Street this month -- especially Thursday.
The Dow plummeted nearly 765 points, or 2.3%, Thursday, and it is down 4% in December following solid gains the previous two months. Verizon (VZ) was the only one of the 30 Dow stocks in positive territory.
The S&P 500 fell 2.5% and the Nasdaq was 3.2% lower Thursday. The S&P 500 is now off 4.5% for the month while the Nasdaq has sunk nearly 6%. Stocks were sliding Thursday as investors continued to fret about the latest economic forecasts

Three men found guilty of “providing material support for a terrorist act” in connection with the foiled plot to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer were sentenced to prison on Thursday.
Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were members of a paramilitary group, the Wolverine Watchmen, that trained with Adam Fox, who was the alleged leader in the scheme, according to prosecutors. The three men were not charged with having a direct role in the plot but were also charged with gun violations and membership in a gang. Musico was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years in prison. Morrison, who is Musico’s son in law, was sentenced to ten years

Just how desperate are the Democrats in terms of their weak bench of candidates to replace Joe Biden? Well, they’re desperate enough to actually be talking about Pete Bugttigieg as a potential 2024 nominee and corporate media is fluffing up the theory. Politico featured a “West Wing playbook” article yesterday describing the Transportation Secretary’s “campaign in waiting.” In it, they describe how various dark money groups are keeping a stream of donations coming in with the theme, “Win the Era.” This funding infrastructure has allegedly allowed Mayor Pete to “maintain a political footprint” and keep his options open while not broadcasting his loftier ambitions.

Are you prepared to send South Africa $8 billion to close down their coal-fired power plants?
Don’t worry. Your level of preparation is irrelevant. President Biden is prepared to do so, and that is all that matters. Your opinion counts as much as a wart on a gnats ass in such matters.
Biden held a U.S./Africa summit, and he decided that this was a fine time to shower the continent with some good ol’ American dollars. Because the history of foreign aid investments in Africa has been one of unlimited success, it apparently it’s time to pour more good money after bad.

After outcry from conservatives and Republican lawmakers who weren't willing to betray the GOP's commitment to the rule of law, legal immigration, and border security, an attempt to grant mass amnesty to DACA beneficiaries is, according to reporting on Wednesday night, dead. Unsurprisingly, the fatally flawed legislative framework that was supposed to gin up support on both sides of the political aisle in the U.S. Senate did exactly the opposite as Republicans who limped across the midterm election finish line with barely a majority in the House and a loss in the Senate were not ready to hitch their names to a bill that was toxic among Republican voters.
