Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Legal advisors will need to come up to speed on the new gun law changes. I hope that this helps. On Tuesday, June 21, the Senate advanced a gun safety bill, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, with a vote of 64-34. Just days later, the Supreme Court announced its decision in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, where the court struck down New York’s law requiring applicants for a concealed handgun license show “proper cause” before receiving their permit. Here’s what the proposed bill seeks to accomplish : 1. Close the boyfriend loophole. Currently, federal law prevents those who have been convicted of domestic abuse against a partner they are married to, living with or share children with from purchasing a gun —but does not apply to those convicted of abuse against a person they are merely dating or have no romantic relationship with. The updated text would define “misdemeanor crime of domestic … [Read more...] about Gun Law Changes Will Impact Legal Advisors

Hillary Clinton’s politically appointed State Department information technology manager had no national security experience and may have enjoyed a 55 percent pay hike after Clinton departed as secretary of state in February 2013, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. Bryan Pagliano joined Clinton in 2009 as a top-level IT strategist and adviser. He previously was IT director of Clinton’s unsuccessful campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. The White House personnel office must approve political appointees before they are hired. Pagliano was hired as a GS-15 even though he had no national security experience or security clearance. He was paid $140,000 annually at the outset but that was reduced to $136,000 in 2011 and 2012, according to the Asbury Park Press, which posts federal compensation data. In addition to his government salary, Pagliano also received compensation directly from the Clinton family, but did not list it on his annual … [Read more...] about Hillary’s Highly Paid IT Guru At State Department Had No National Security Experience

However, its products haven’t only gained traction among smokers trying to wean themselves off cigarettes. They are also a hit with teenagers. What medical experts are calling a Juul-driven “youth nicotine epidemic” is gaining heightened attention from regulators like the Food and Drug Administration, which on Thursday said it is seeking a nationwide ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars and will sharply restrict the sales of fruity-flavored nicotine vaping cartridges. Juul, likely aware of the … [Read more...] about The Disturbing Focus Of Juul’s Early Marketing Campaigns

Hillary Clinton and her family paid a State Department staffer out of their own pockets to set up and operate her home-brew email server, The Washington Post reports . While the finding seemingly answers the question of whether the staffer, Bryan Pagliano, worked on Clinton’s private server on the government’s dime — the Clinton camp is asserting he didn’t — the arrangement raises other questions about how far Clinton went to set up an off-the-books email system. Clinton said in an interview that aired Friday that there were “so many problems around the world” when she took office in Jan. 2009, that she “didn’t really stop and think…what kind of e-mail system will there be?” But Pagliano’s hire indicates that Clinton and her team gave the system adequate forethought. The Clintons paid Pagliano $5,000 for “computer services” prior to his joining the State Department in May 2009, according to The Post. He continued to work on the server, which was located in the Clintons’ … [Read more...] about Hillary Paid Her State Department IT Guy On The Side To Manage Private Server

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A House panel revealed for the first time internal documents from Juul Labs that Democrats said detailed the e-cigarette company’s plan to directly reach teenagers. The hearing, which featured Juul cofounder James Monsees and chief administration officer Ashley Gould, comes as part of a House Oversight Committee investigation into the company’s role in what the Food and Drug Administration has dubbed a youth vaping epidemic. A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the amount of high schoolers who used e-cigarettes jumped to 20.8% in 2018 from 11.7% the previous year. The panel requested last month that Juul turn over a wide-ranging set of internal communications related to its marketing and social media strategies. Panel members used some of those documents to question executives about the San Francisco company’s efforts to recruit social media influencers and to talk to teenagers face-to-face. … [Read more...] about Juul Funded High Schools, Recruited Social Media Influencers To Reach Youth, House Panel Charges

I sit down with the daughter of Parisian gallerists Laure and Hervé Péron to discuss the contemporary African art scene. How has the contemporary African art scene evolved over the past decade? Since 2012, in Abidjan, I have observed a constant evolution of the contemporary African art scene, even if it is not easy to deal with in a general way. Each country on the continent has developed in a different way, but we can note that several scenes have emerged these last 10 years. We can use Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast or even specifically Senegal as examples where we can observe an increasing number of projects going in this direction.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Capital is one of the greatest needs for all small business owners, especially entrepreneurs of color. Borrowing isn’t always the optimal way to finance your business. Loans have to be repaid and depending on the interest rate and term, debt might not be the best way to sustain operations or fuel growth. In the wake of COVID-19, many companies and business support organizations have developed cash grant programs to help small businesses survive and recover. Cash grants, which can provide businesses some breathing room and funds to invest could be a viable alternative to a loan, and may often be what small businesses need to stabilize in the wake of COVID-19 and fuel their growth. While grants can be the source of flexible capital, finding them can be challenging. There are important takeaways from the work of private companies and organizations who have and continue to provide on-the-ground support to small businesses. … [Read more...] about For Small Businesses, Grants Can Offer Both Cash And Lifelong Relationships

TAMPA BAY, Fla. – The NHL’s worst team only five years ago, the Avalanche completed its journey to the top of the hockey world Sunday night, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. The Avalanche, which won the series in six games and dethroned the two-time defending champion Lighting, completed a tour de force postseason. It never trailed in any of its four series, never dropped consecutive games and went 16-4. And the clinching win was its 10th come-from-behind victory, tying a league record. The Avs received second-period goals from center Nathan MacKinnon and winger Artturi Lehkonen. The third period was 20 minutes of high drama … most of it produced by the Avalanche. As the Avs created chance after chance, Tampa Bay had no shots on goal in the first 10 minutes of the period and only two through 16 minutes. The Lightning’s first premium third-period chance came with 6:32 left when Darcy Kuemper slid laterally to stop a … [Read more...] about Colorado Avalanche beats Tampa Bay, 2-1, in Game 6 to win Stanley Cup

Republican Iowa Sen. [crscore]Chuck Grassley[/crscore], the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is questioning whether Hillary Clinton paid legal and public relations expenses for a former State Department aide and a tech company that worked on her private email system. “As you are aware, such arrangements can pose conflict-of-interest issues,” Grassley wrote in a letter he sent on Tuesday to attorneys representing Clinton and several of her State Department aides, including Bryan Pagliano, the IT staffer who managed Clinton’s email system while she was secretary of state. Grassley appears concerned that Clinton’s former aides and the tech companies she has hired to manage her mysterious email system would continue to work on her behalf rather than provide information on the email arrangement to investigators. “It is important for the Committee to know whether Secretary Clinton and her attorneys are providing financial support, legal support, or other coordination to … [Read more...] about Senator Wonders If Hillary Is Covering Legal Expenses For Tech Firm That Managed Her Email Server
