Paul "The Vulture" Singer's Elliott Management is set to acquire Barnes & Noble — America's largest physical bookstore chain — for $683 million. The company already owns Waterstones, the largest chain in the UK, having bought it last year. cnbc.com/2019/06/07/ell…
For The Vulture to own Barnes & Noble and Waterstones is dangerous. He didn’t buy these commercial disasters as a business investment or to support books — it will make him the gatekeeper for bestsellers.
My books thrived cause they were displayed at the front of the stores. Now, forget about it — unless I rip out the chapters on The Vulture! palastinvestigativefund.org/?id=46

Dear @WSJ,

Sorry, Mr. Rove, but #StaceyAbrams’ claim that the 2018 gubernatorial election was corrupted is hardly "unsupported." Our team found a half million-plus Georgians were purged from voter rolls by #BrianKemp in the year before the election. wsj.com/articles/stace…
They lost their vote on the ostensible grounds they’d left the state or voting county. We found 340,136 of those voters had never moved from where they originally registered. But Kemp took away their right to vote — while he was running for Governor. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…
Mr. Rove is correct in stating these citizens were purged in accordance with #Georgia’s "Use It or Lose It" law. But that law only acts as an "alternative means" recognized by the National Voter Registration Act for determining if a voter has moved. truthout.org/articles/gops-…

With Trump threatening to punish Mexico for the Honduran immigration crisis he created (geography was not his top subject), I headed to Mexico yesterday to pick up the prize for International Reporting from the Club de Periodistas de México (a prize I share with #JulianAssange).
The big story while I was in #Mexico was today’s planned march in Tijuana, called for by President @lopezobrador. He’s called for hundreds of thousands to march on the border to “defender nuestra soberanía”— defend Mexico’s sovereignty, its dignity.
There’s a feeling that Trump was simply trying to humiliate #Mexico, that it has nothing to do with migrants. Ironically, the President, reasonably referred to as the #BernieSanders of Mexico, has been exceptionally cooperative and respectful toward Trump. gregpalast.com/how-the-bernie…

Beware of the coming repeat of the 2016 theft of the California primary from #Bernie. The CA primary will have an outsize impact on the nomination.
Is the fix in? Secretary of State Alex Padilla — the Katherine Harris of California — in charge of the vote, is backing Kamala Harris (as she endorsed him last year). politico.com/story/2019/02/…
Padilla has stonewalled my request for a breakdown of the approximately 700K ballots disqualified from the count in the 2016 #CAPrimary — overwhelmingly those of independent "No Party Preference" voters. gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday

Hello gang, I want to talk to you about bookshops, specifically Barnes and Noble and Waterstones.
As many of you know, recently Barnes and Noble laid off almost 2000 full time employees. It is now America’s only major nationwide chain bookshop, after Borders closed down. It’s in trouble.
I’m sure loads of people have been talking about this, but here is a post on tumblr which is long but entirely necessary for readers and publishers and booksellers to fully take in: audreyii-fic.tumblr.com/post/170886347…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
