LeBron James' media production company has bled tens of millions in the last two years, with more losses on the horizon, recently unearthed documents show.SpringHill, James' production company he co-founded with his manager Maverick Carter in 2020, has apparently never made any money.According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the company has lost millions since its inception as it simultaneously produced race-based movies and LeBron-centric productions.In 2022, the company reportedly lost $17 million, with losses piling up in 2023, adding another $28 million in the red. The report states that SpringHill is expected to lose millions more in 2024, as well.With 250 employees currently, the company is said to require staff cuts in order to be profitable in the coming years. The aim is to have SpringHill making money by the end of 2025.Co-founder Carter told Bloomberg that a shift in the industry toward "profitability" was to blame, along with strikes and poor projects."The entertainment market shift in 2022/2023 toward profitability brought rising costs, slower buyer decisions, and impacts from industry strikes, prompting us to recalibrate, including writing off underperforming projects to position ourselves for future growth."He added that the company is expected to exceed its 2024 projections.'We built this business with LeBron, not around him.'This claimed profitability "shift" is typically true of larger movie studios, who traditionally absorbed losses from poorly performing productions in hopes that a summer blockbuster or two will provide the majority of profits. The bulk of SpringHill's movie productions however, have race-centric plots that seemingly did not take off as hoped.This includes "Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street," released in 2019, which focuses on racial conflict in Ohio."Black Ice," a somewhat self-explanatory title about the history of black hockey players, was released in 2022 with James as an executive producer."Rez Ball," a movie about basketball on a Navajo reservation, included James as one of the producers."We built this business with LeBron, not around him," Carter said. The co-founder also noted the basketball star "remains deeply engaged in driving the vision and mission he helped shape, focusing more actively on certain passion projects."This is evident given that SpringHill released "Space Jam: A New Legacy" as follow-up to the massively successful "Space Jam" that starred Michael Jordan in 1996. The 2021 continuation starred James, instead.In 2023, a biographical drama about James' high school basketball days was released ("Shooting Stars"), which was based on James' own memoir.Investors will reportedly put another $40 million into the flailing venture, with Carter saying the company has the proper team to "adapt" to the changing industry landscape.Like Blaze News?

Despite repeatedly pledging not to, President Biden has chosen to pardon his son Hunter for his federal crimes. “This is the least surprising story of the decade,” says Glenn Beck. “We all knew it was coming.” Even though it’s upsetting, Glenn admits that Joe Biden is well within his constitutional rights to do this. “It's one of the few powers that we grant the executive office for which there is no check and balance process outlined in the Constitution,” he says. But despite the constitutionality of Biden’s blanket pardon, people are still very upset, as they should be. “If this was just cocaine and prostitutes, I don't think we'd care that much,” says Glenn. “However, we're talking about money laundering charges to the Biden family.” “What about the violation of the State Secrets Act? ... How about Chinese prostitute spies?” he asks. In a statement explaining his decision, Biden said, “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.” Glenn actually agrees — mostly. Before the scandal went public, the DOJ, IRS, and FBI were trying to give Hunter “a sweetheart deal” that would effectively sweep his crimes under the rug. So in that sense, yes — Hunter’s case was indeed a miscarriage of justice from the start, making the pardon even more egregious. However, just because Biden pardoned Hunter doesn’t mean it’s over.There is still a way that at least some justice can be served. “If Trump is who we think he is ... he can completely blow the lid off of this,” says Glenn. “Even if he can't prosecute Hunter or Joe, that's fine. But he can declassify every single document in the Biden investigation from cocaine to China to the Middle East and destroy not just the Biden legacy ... but he can destroy the press; he can destroy everyone that was involved in this — the entire apparatus around it,” he proposes. “Biden only granted Hunter immunity — only Hunter, and by extension, himself, but not the gross military and intelligence industrial complex and the team around them. All those people can be exposed; all of those people can go to jail, and with the appointment of Kash Patel, I predict it's going to happen,” Glenn hypothesizes. To hear more, watch the clip above.

Pecan Pie Bark is a wonderful holiday sweet treat that combines the flavors of pecan pie with toffee graham cracker candy. A pecan pie mixture is baked on top of a single layer of graham crackers and the pecan mixture gets wonderfully caramelized. This candy is fabulously sweet and has such a wonderful crust. I love this version every bit as much as Bourbon Graham Cracker Candy and Fireball Graham Cracker Candy. Want to save this recipe?Just enter your email and get it sent to your inbox!

It takes about 10 minutes to assemble and then it needs to bake for 10 minutes. Ingredients Needed For Pecan Pie Bark 15 Graham Crackers– I use plain but you can use Cinnamon Graham Crackers if you want more cinnamon flavor. 2 cups Pecan Halves 1 cup Salted Butter– unsalted butter is fine, but you may want to add an extra pinch of salt. 1 cup packed Light Brown Sugar– you can use dark brown sugar instead. Pinch of Salt 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract How To Make Pecan Pie Bark Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare Graham Cracker Layer. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer in the prepared baking sheet. You may need to break a few of them to get them to fit. A few gaps are ok, but you want the bottom mostly covered. Add pecans. Sprinkle them evenly over the graham crackers. Make the brown sugar mixture. Combine butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir to make sure sugar is melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over Graham Crackers. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pecans and graham crackers as evenly as you can. Bake. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool. Let cool completely and then break into pieces. Storage Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

Sprinkle them over the top just after removing from the oven. This crunchy sweet treat is perfect for Holiday gatherings, dessert boards, or Holiday gift giving.
