Ben White, a CNBC contributor and veteran journalist, passed away after a ‘brief illness,’ according to his partner. “This is Ben’s partner, Sara. I’m heartbroken to tell you that Ben died on Saturday, June 1 after a brief illness. He loved his family, being a journalist, rooting for the Yankees and the Commanders and so much more. He’ll forever be in my heart and will be missed by so many,” White’s partner, Sara, wrote on his X profile. This is Ben’s partner, Sara.

Before joining Politico in 2009, he earned awards for his coverage of the financial crisis while at The New York Times. White was US banking editor and Wall Street correspondent for the Financial Times between 2005 and 2007. Top journalists in media paid tribute to White as they reacted with shock and sadness to his partner’s announcement. The elephant in the room is whether or not White received the experimental COVID-19 shot. “No I’m not crying like a small baby under my mask. That is you who is doing that. My huge thanks to science and everyone working so hard to bring this nightmare closer to an end. Bless you all. #GetVaxxed,” White said in March 2021.

We all looked up to him,” Brian Stelter added in another message. In a third tribute, Chuck Todd, chief political analyst for NBC News wrote, “I’m just at a loss for words. Ben’s a former Hotliner and was just, frankly, one of the good ones, both as a person and a journalist. I’m so so sorry for his family.”

Today, 40 year later, Joe Biden is at Normandy. I won’t bother to post any of this sorry excuse for a president’s drugged-up speech because he probably doesn’t even know where he is. At Normandy, Ronald Reagan’s voice at times cracked with emotion as he delivered the speech at the U.S. Ranger Monument at Pointe […]

Once and for all, I will say this again. Uncle Joe’s problem isn’t that he is old. He has dementia and brain damage from surgeries for two brain aneurysms. Also, he wasn’t born all that bright and is a congenital liar. When he got into the Senate, he did it with his dear Dixiecrat segregationist […] The post D-Day With Uncle Joe appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Thursday, June 6, marked the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion — D-Day — a major turning point in the European theater. For Google, apparently, June 6 was just another day of a month-long LGBTQ+ Pride celebration. Google’s “doodle” on the D-Day anniversary was author and activist Jeanne Córdova – and a handy tab underneath the search bar on the home page steered visitors toward “Pride”-related content. “In honor of Pride Month this Doodle celebrates Chicana lesbian activist, feminist, and author Jeanne Córdova, a pioneering leader of the LGBTQ+ rights movement,” Google described the June 6 “doodle.” This is how Google is celebrating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Some random LGBTQ+ feminist author. pic.twitter.com/tr7DJ0Gy1W — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) June 6, 2024 “Today’s the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

June 6, 2022, would have been Moriondo’s 171st birthday.
