Mama gov’t not gonna let the mean ol’ banks fleece you for irresponsibility
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) Banks collect billions of dollars each year from credit card late fees that often range around $40 per delinquent incident. Those often-costly fees could drop to $8 later this year if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalizes a proposed rule that would curb how much issuers can charge.
Globohomo NATO
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) NATO leaders are meeting at a key summit in Lithuania today as Russia's war in Ukraine remains a top agenda item, along with discussing a future pathway for the war-torn country to join the alliance. While the issue has prompted some division among leaders, the White House said the alliance will "send a united, positive signal" on Ukraine's path to NATO membership — but declined to give a specific timetable. This comes a day after Turkey's lifting of its blockade on Sweden's entry into the alliance.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has voiced frustration that "uncertainty" over Ukraine's NATO membership is motivation for Russia to "continue its terror." All eyes are now turning to several highly-anticipated meetings that Zelensky is scheduled to have with President Joe Biden and NATO leaders scheduled for today and Wednesday.
Floods in New England (right?)
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) More than 3 million people are under flood alerts across the Northeast today after multiple rounds of intense rainstorms forced water rescues and evacuations across the region Monday. Parts of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are expecting more showers today, with the highest risk of excessive rainfall covering much of Vermont. "We have not seen rainfall like this since [Hurricane] Irene, and in some places, it will surpass even that," Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said. Hurricane Irene brought destructive flooding to the state in 2011, leaving entire communities under water. In New York, where six counties are similarly under a state of emergency, at least one person died after being swept away by floodwaters as she tried to evacuate, officials said.
Far-left Twitter vs EXTREME-left Threads
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) Twitter's traffic tanked following the launch of Meta's rival app Threads, which topped more than 100 million users within five days after it launched, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Monday. Its successful debut marked a staggering feat for any social network and one that puts it on pace to rapidly pass Twitter's audience size. Twitter traffic had already been trending downward for months, but the pace of its decline accelerated in recent days, likely reflecting a mass migration from the platform owned by Elon Musk to the one run by Zuckerberg. In addition to countless celebrities that have joined Threads, more than 100 US lawmakers have signed up as well — though few world leaders appear to be on the platform at the moment.

ANOTHER Volcano eruption, off Iceland?!
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) A volcanic eruption in Iceland is sending plumes of smoke across a region known for its sweeping lava fields and geothermal activity. The eruption occurring south of Iceland's capital Reykjavik began Monday, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, and so far no disruption has been reported at the country's Keflavik Airport. Since the eruption took place in an uninhabited area, there were also no "immediate risks" to communities or infrastructure, the IMO said — but it warned people not to venture near the area, saying there will be an accumulation of "dangerously high levels of volcanic gasses." Scientists had warned of possible eruptions after hundreds of minor earthquakes were detected in recent weeks.
Lame-o liberal politics at Wimbledon…
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) A year after tennis players from Russia and Belarus were banned from playing at Wimbledon following the invasion of Ukraine, organizers of the 2023 tournament accepted entries from players from the two countries if they compete as neutral athletes and follow "appropriate conditions." Still, the war remains a touchy subject at Wimbledon on and off the court. Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenka said "it wasn't fair" that the crowd booed at the end of her fourth-round match Monday against Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, who ended up winning the tight contest. Separately, tennis star Novak Djokovic has called for earlier start times at Wimbledon amid a curfew controversy that is halting matches earlier than most players —and fans — would like.
Kids should avoid this controversial energy drink, lawmakers say
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) A can of this popular energy drink has six times more caffeine than a can of Coca-Cola. Some lawmakers are now questioning the company's marketing tactics toward children.
What is Prime Energy, Logan Paul’s controversial energy drink? Prime launched in January 2022 and is a joint creation between influencers (and former boxing rivals) Logan Paul from the US and Olajide “KSI” Olatunji, who is from the United Kingdom. They have amassed tens of millions of followers on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok and capitalized on their influence to create a line of drinks that have become an instant success and disrupted the energy drink category.
The duo’s first drink, Hydration, is a Gatorade-like sports drink that mixes coconut water and electrolytes, without sugar or caffeine.
But PRIME: A 12-ounce can contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, which contains six times more caffeine than a can of Coca-Cola. [Not mentioned by CNN: It’s less than Cotton Candy Rockstar (which has at least 300mg in 16oz)!]
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NOT A CHRISTIAN) said the US Food and Drug Administration should investigate the high caffeine content in the canned energy drink as well as its marketing efforts.
NOT READ: Schumer alleged that Prime Energy “has an eye-popping level of caffeine, and that’s giving parents and doctors the jitters for the kids that are targets” and said that another issue is that “most parents haven’t even heard of this stuff that their kids are begging for.”
“Prime is born from the reels of social media and the enigmatic world of influencers,” Schumer said. “Kids see it on their phones as they scroll, and then they actually have a need for it.” WHAT A SCUMBAG, TALK ABOUT JEALOUSY!
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no caffeinated sports drinks or other products for children under the age of 12, while adolescents between the ages of age 12 and 18 should limit their intake to less than 100 milligrams per day.
The FDA says 400 milligrams of caffeine a day for healthy adults is “not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects.”
In 2013, a Senate panel held a similar hearing with top energy drinks.
“The leading energy drink companies at the time — Rockstar, Monster and Red Bull — all appeared before the Senate about a decade ago and were warned to be careful about their youth marketing pitches, but they weren’t anywhere near as tied to an early teenage cohort as Prime,” Jeffrey Klineman, editor-in-chief of BevNet, told CNN.
Speaking of COMMIE Capitalism
(CNN Tue. 7/11/23) Around 1,000 major companies pledged to leave Russia after President Vladimir Putin launched his war in Ukraine — but several are continuing their operations, according to Yale research. The companies allegedly "breaking their promises" to scale back their presence in the country include Heineken, Unilever, Philip Morris and Oreo maker Mondelez, according to the research.
