Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said the $320 million pier that lasted 12 days was not a failure. That’s great news. Some thought Hamas rockets targeting our soldiers, parts of the pier floating away and sinking, and the beaching of ships moored to it or trying to save it made it a failure.

So I’m angry, I’m sad and I’m all of the feelings at once … but above all, I am here for Johnny’s justice.” “My friend of 8 years went from laughing together, working side by side, leaving our bartending shift and walking to our cars, to him dying in my arms in the streets of DTLA in the dark hours of 3 a.m.,” Joy continued, adding that the “basic details of this horrific story” comes down “to a few criminals trying to steal a car part.” “Everything happened in an instant,” the post continued. “I’ve come to describe it as a glass of water that gets tipped over and you’re scrambling to grab it and save it from spilling out completely but it just runs through your fingertips and is gone.” She explained how the pair had “cautiously approached the men, questioning what they were doing, at first thinking the car was being towed” and believing they were “no threat.” “Johnny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave. Hands open to his sides in peace,” Joy added in the post. “Johnny was between me and the man who shot him – as I heard the shot ring into the night, he forcefully tumbled back into my arms and as I grabbed for him, I shouted, ‘Hunny you ok?!’ And he only responded, ‘Nope! Shot!'” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Joy said Wactor fell “onto the street,” so she put her “legs under him and tried to hold his body up while screaming for help and screaming at him to stay with me.” A security guard from the bar came and called 911 plus performed CPR on Wactor, but Joy said he was unable to “stop the bleeding.” She wrote the shot was “too close range” and “too extreme of a wound for him to survive it, but my God he fought to stay.” Joy concluded by saying she’s “utterly heartbroken and so very angry.” “My only peace is that I was with him and this didn’t happen to him alone – my only other peace will be seeing these awful men brought to justice,” she said.

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a strategic alliance with billionaire Elon Musk as he prepares for a potential 2024 presidential bid. The discussions between Trump and Musk were first reported by multiple sources, indicating that Trump is seeking significant financial backing to bolster his campaign efforts​. In a recent meeting, Trump and Musk discussed the possibility of Musk providing financial support for Trump's campaign. This comes as Trump's campaign faces substantial financial challenges, including mounting legal expenses and fines from previous legal battles. The financial boost from Musk, who is among the world's wealthiest individuals, could be a game-changer for Trump's campaign.​ https://x.com/ChayaRaichik10/status/1795905424312398220 Musk, known for his influence and innovative ventures, has not been a major political donor in the past, contributing less than $1 million since 2009. His potential involvement in Trump's campaign could dramatically shift the political landscape, given Musk's significant financial resources and his control over influential platforms like X (formerly Twitter)​​. The potential alliance has stirred considerable interest and speculation. Some view this partnership as a strategic move that could significantly enhance Trump's chances in the 2024 election, while others see it as a testament to the deepening ties between business magnates and political figures​. https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1795902068181405955 The meeting underscores the growing trend of political campaigns seeking support from high-profile business leaders. As the election approaches, the implications of such alliances will likely become a focal point in discussions about campaign financing and influence​ (Yahoo)​​ (BNN)​. Trump's campaign has been struggling with financial constraints, having spent more than it raised, in stark contrast to President Joe Biden's better-funded campaign. This financial disparity makes Musk's potential support even more crucial for Trump, who needs substantial funds to compete effectively​. The discussions between Trump and Musk also highlight the broader issue of how financial power and technological influence intersect with political ambitions. Musk's support could bring not only financial resources but also access to a vast network of followers and technological advantages​. While it remains uncertain whether Musk will fully commit to backing Trump's campaign, the very possibility of this alliance highlights the intricate dynamics of modern political campaigns and the pivotal role of financial and technological power in shaping election outcomes. The unfolding developments will be closely watched as the 2024 election approaches​​.

On America’s Got Talent, you’ll find contestants from all walks of life show off some of the most impressive skills. Most often, this includes talents like singing, dancing, ventriloquism, and the like. Amidst all of these impressive talents, however, are the particularly unusual ones. Tonikaku of Japan is the best, and potentially most loved, example. After competing on quite a few other Got Talent shows in other countries, including Britain’s Got Talent (BGT), he’s finally making his way to the States. Right off the bat, Tonikaku knows how to make an entrance. Wearing only the smallest of bathing suit bottoms, he almost looks naked. Don’t worry, though, he’s quick to let everyone know that he’s wearing pants. Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofía Vergara find themselves at a loss for words. Simon Cowell, on the other hand, knows exactly what’s going on — he was a judge when Tonikaku auditioned for BGT. Once Cowell makes it clear how much of a fan he is of this unique act, it’s time to see what Tonikaku actually does… I don’t know about you, but there was absolutely nothing that could have prepared me for Tonikaku’s act. As absurd as it is for him to simply show off new poses, always reiterating that he’s wearing pants, it somehow works. Sure, the audience started off puzzled. But by the end, they were all happy to participate in the interactive portion of the performance! Despite putting on one of the most peculiar performances, all four judges send him on to the next round. You might be thinking, “Sure, but he won’t make it very far in the competition,” but I wouldn’t underestimate Tonikaku. He made it to 11th place on BGT! Though, it seems many fans of AGT wouldn’t mind anyway! Tonikaku Confuses and Delights the AGT Crowd With His Unconventional Talent “It’s incredible that he can do the same gag every single time and its still funny,” one fan points out in the comments section. “I have no idea why l find this so hilarious but I genuinely do,” another person admits. “When he trolled at the end and faked everybody out just to get the same gag AGAIN was PEAK comedy and I was legit in tears.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
