Donald Trump ’s emerging media and technology company has taken a stab at further refining its business plans, promising in a new SEC filing that its forthcoming streaming service will be a “non-woke alternative” to Netflix and Disney+. Following a merger with the blank check firm (or SPAC) Digital World Acquisition, Trump Media and Technology Group has embarked on a path toward a public listing, with expectations for regulatory approval to come before the end of 2022. DWAC is already publicly traded but is for now just the shell company for Trump’s media effort, which is backed by $1 billion from a range of investors. TMTG started off in social media, launching Truth Social earlier this year. It then plans to move into other sectors, designating TMTG+ as its vehicle for taking on the giants of streaming. This morning, the former president’s company detailed more of its plans in an expanded prospectus disclosed to the SEC.

From a Gun-Free Bubble, NRA Demands ‘More Guns’ To Limit Mass Shootings

By noon on Friday, a protest was in full-tilt across the street from the convention hall. D emonstrators for gun control held signs aloft with slogans like “NRA OWNS GOP.” One listed the names of the children killed in their classroom on Tuesday, etched in black and blood red. “¡Asesinos!” yelled a man repeatedly into a megaphone, using the Spanish word for “killers.” … [Read more...] about From a Gun-Free Bubble, NRA Demands ‘More Guns’ To Limit Mass Shootings

Late May is ripe with them: This week marks the four-year anniversary of a shooting spree at a high school Santa Fe, Texas, that left 10 dead, and eight years since a University of California, Santa Barbara student murdered two fellow students outside a sorority house in Isla Vista, California. “They do just seem to stack up,” Barden sighed. Barden would soon find out, of course, about a new tragedy unfolding at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The massacre, which left 19 students and two teachers dead, would be immediately dubbed “another Sandy Hook ” — the very thing Barden had devoted his life to preventing ever since the 2012 shooting claimed his seven-year-old son Daniel and 19 other first graders. On Tuesday night, Barden and his wife, Jackie, got in their car and drove around. “We just … [Read more...] about He Lost His Son to a School Shooting. Here’s Why He’s Willing to Relive His Agony
