Biden demands Chinese company sell off TikTok or face US ban
The Biden administration has demanded that TikTok's Chinese owners sell their stakes in the social media app or be banned in the US.
US officials and lawmakers have raised concerns that TikTok's user data could be given to China's communist government.
Last week, the White House supported legislation from a dozen senators that would grant the administration the ability to ban TikTok and other foreign-based technologies if they pose national security threats.
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee voted along party lines on a bill that would require the administration to ban TikTok and other subsidiaries of ByteDance.
TikTok’s Chief Executive Shou Zi Chew is scheduled to appear before Congress next week.

High school football coach fired for praying on field after games awarded $2M settlement, gets his job back
The Bremerton School Board accepted a $1.75 million settlement with Joe Kennedy, a high school football coach that was fired for praying on the field. Kennedy will also be reinstated as a coach for the upcoming season.
The school board voted unanimously in favor of the settlement on Thursday.
Kennedy started coaching at the school in 2008. He began to regularly pray at the 50-yard line of the football field after games. Some students began to join him over time. The school district later found out and asked Kennedy to stop in 2015. Kennedy continued praying at midfield with anyone that chose to join him, to which the school district responded by placing him on paid leave, and eventually fired him.
⚖️ The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Kennedy in June, citing Kennedy's right to pray as protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

White House on Nord Stream pipeline explosions: "We still do believe it was an act of sabotage. The United States was not involved in any way."
Seymour Hersh already gave us a full investigation on who blew up Nord Stream.
But the White House would rather blame everything on "pro-Ukranian groups" (how convenient) than admit they're the ones behind it.

Trump💰hush-money💰grand jury proceedings postponed. Or cancelled altogether?
The hype over Trump's possible arrest persists.
▪️Not long ago, on Saturday, Donald Trump blew up the internet with the intel about his possible arrest on Tuesday and called for protests.
The possible charges stem from the $130,000 hush-money payment that then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016 in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Trump was accused of using campaign money for these purposes.
🪧The protests and pickets that followed, to be honest, looked rather suspicious and inauthentic. Take, for instance, a very small pro-Trump picket in front of the Trump Tower. One of the protesters wears a mask, which, in 2023, is a definite way to spot a liberal in a crowd. The left on Twitter were quick to use this protest in their "nobody cares for Trump anymore" argument.
🪧The anti-Trump protests looked no better. Two protesters in New York were filmed by what seems to be like 20 reporters.
▪️But Tuesday came and nothing happened. The grand jury was canceled amid "major dissension" within the district attorney's office.
Fox News sources claim the district attorney is having trouble convincing the grand jury on potential charges due to the "weakness" of the case.
📄Now a 2018 letter has resurfaced, which confirms that Michael Cohen used his own personal funds to pay the 'hush-money,' was not reimbursed, and that the payment was not a campaign contribution. Does this mean the charges will be dropped? It seems so.
▪️Anyway, Trump used the situation to draw attention to his 2024 presidential campaign. Elon Musk gets the point, tweeting that if indicted, "Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory."
