General Discussion / This Minnesota Governor and legend said, Trump got blade, agree??
« Last post by theking on Today at 01:19:45 AM »Jesse Ventura on Donald Trump assassination attempt: ‘Ever hear of a blade job?’
Professional wrestling legend and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura appeared on Piers Morgan this week and went after Donald Trump again.
That's not uncommon for Ventura, but one of the bits from the interview making headlines is an accusation that he made about the assassination attempt on Trump's life that took place in Butler, Pennsylvania during the 2024 Presidential Election.
While the two were discussing Trump, Morgan said, "To be fair to Trump, when he got shot, he got back up and said, 'Fight, fight, fight!'"
"Oh yeah, right, right, right," Ventura replied. "You ever hear of a blade job?"
A "blade job" is a term used in professional wrestling for when the performers actually cut themselves out of view of the audience so that they bleed during the match.
"You think it was fake?" Morgan replied.
"I don't know," Ventura replied. "Where's his scar today?"
Morgan then referenced Pennsylvania native Corey Comperatore who was in the crowd that day and was killed during the assassination attempt.
"Somebody died literally sitting behind him," Morgan replied.
"I don't know," Ventura said. "You know, come on Piers. You're gonna tell me this guy is a big hero now? That's what you are going to tell me?"
"I thought that day he was," Morgan replied. "That day he was."
"Really?" Ventura said. "Really?"
Morgan stated again that Trump was a hero on that day.
"Then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys," Ventura said smiling.
"No, I think you can be heroic on one day, and you can be less heroic on others," Morgan said. "But, if you ask me was he heroic when he got shot, he was."
"Sure, yeah, yeah, you're right," Ventura said. "You know what I feel bad about it? Was that if he'd have joined us in Vietnam we might have won, huh?
"Why did he run and hide, when he could have joined us and led us to victory?"
Morgan replied that he didn't think anything could have changed the United States' fortunes in Vietnam.
"Yeah, probably not considering he called us all suckers, didn't he?" Ventura replied.
There is no evidence the assassination attempt on Trump was staged.
"On that tragic day in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him," the White House said in a statement. "President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family.
"On that dark day, God spared President Trump's life by a miraculous millimeter," the statement continued. "President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to 'fight, fight, fight' for the American people. Only a fool would believe otherwise."
Ventura is not the only person to question the circumstances around the assassination attempt, with some MAGA-leaning content creators on social media also entering the discussion of late. In fact, the rumors prompted a response from White House communications director Steven Cheung earlier this month.
"For those of us who were there with POTUS at Butler," he wrote, "anyone saying it was staged truly needs to have their heads checked out because they have no sense of reality."

Neighbors slam Olympic gold medalist Eileen Gu as trash left piled outside SF home
Olympic freestyle skiing star Eileen Gu’s family home in San Francisco’s wealthy Sea Cliff neighborhood is drawing fresh scrutiny after a large pile of discarded furniture and household items triggered complaints from nearby residents. The debris-covered sidewalk outside the family’s 25th Avenue property on Tuesday reportedly featured a couch, mattress, broken furniture, clothing, books, medication bottles and other household belongings. The pile was so extensive that it obscured a fire hydrant from view.

Trump Says Ford and GM Asked Him to Make It Harder for You to Fix Your Own Car
President Trump dropped a bombshell on car owners this week, claiming that executives from General Motors and Ford sat down with him to push for legislation that would stop people from repairing their own vehicles. If that sounds backward to you, you are not alone. Trump said as much himself.
The claim landed in an unexpected place. Trump was at an Oval Office event on June 4th that was supposed to focus on upgrades to coal-fired power plants. Then, without much warning, he steered the conversation toward car repairs and described a recent meeting with industry representative s. According to him, that meeting included leaders from GM and Ford, along with Penske Corporation Chairman Roger Penske.
What Trump Actually Said
Trump told the room that the automakers wanted to move forward with legislation that would limit the ability of consumers to fix their own cars. He framed it as something that struck even him as odd. By his account, he told the executives that he had never heard of such a thing and found the whole idea strange.
That is the part that should grab any enthusiast by the collar. The notion that two of America's biggest automakers would actively lobby to make it harder for owners to wrench on their own vehicles cuts against everything the car community values. People who buy these vehicles tend to believe that once the keys are in their hand, what they do under the hood is their business.
Here is where things get murky. The specifics of the legislation Trump referenced remain unclear. Neither the White House nor the automakers have publicly identified a specific proposal, so right now the public is working off Trump's description of a private meeting and not much else.
The Right-to-Repair Fight Behind It
These comments did not come out of nowhere. They land in the middle of an ongoing debate over so-called right-to-repair legislation, a fight that has been simmering across the industry for years. Vehicle owners are already legally allowed to repair their own cars. That part is not in question.
The complication comes from technology. As vehicles get more digitized, actually performing those repairs gets harder. Modern cars are rolling computers, and getting into their systems is not as simple as popping a hood and grabbing a wrench. That shift has created a real tension between the people who build cars and the people who fix them.
Automakers have their argument ready. They say that access to vehicle-generated data, software systems, and diagnostic information can create risks to security and privacy. In their telling, locking down that information protects owners from threats they might not even see coming.

Father-to-Be Feels 'Hopeless' After Hundreds of Tires Are Illegally Dumped at His 'Dream' Home
Homeowner Khanh Tran said he didn't know "the disaster" that was going to come with buying his new house
A father-to-be has said he feels “hopeless” after his recently purchased property was littered with hundreds of illegally dumped tires.
Khanh Tran said it had always been his “dream” to own a farm with a large amount of land and jumped at the chance to purchase a 1.2-acre property in Portland, Oregon.
The sale went through in April, and he agreed with the previous owner in February that he would remove the 40 tires that had been left on the property. However, that number kept growing month after month after an unknown person continued to dump tires on his land.
Now, Tran has hundreds of rubber tires on his property, and he reached out to local news channel KATU 2 News, because he felt “hopeless.”
"The reason I wanted to buy this property, I think it's in a beautiful location," he told the outlet. "I didn't know the disaster that was going to come with it."
Tran suspects that someone is collecting used tires from businesses with the understanding that they would be recycled, but people are instead dumping them onto his property.
His neighbor, Heather Harmon, also believes this theory, telling the outlet, “I don't know if they're doing it overnight or while I'm at work, I never see anybody over there. I'm worried about something catching on fire and it spreading across into my yard and my property.”
KATU 2 reported that most of the house was inaccessible because of the walls of tires six feet or higher that surround it. The publication also reported there was at least one person living on the grounds without permission.
Tran said after buying the home, he returned on June 6, ready to begin restoration work, when he found the seemingly endless stacks of rubber.
When asked why he was so intent on restoring the house, he said, “Because [it's] like my dream man. I wanted a farm forever. I wanted to live on the farm, and now I've found something that I think is worth every penny that I've put in there, you know? [You're] in the city and you have 1.2 acres, where can you get that?”
The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) is investigating potential trespassing and "offensive littering,” according to the outlet. Metro and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality are also looking into the incident.

MCSO said that the accumulation of tires “presents a fire hazard and could violate Oregon's waste tire regulations.”
A spokesperson also told KATU 2 that crews from Metro's trash removal service, the RID Patrol, have picked up more than 14,000 tires from public property in greater Portland in the last year alone.
Metro told the outlet that the RID Patrol cannot remove trash from private property.
Metro, the MCSO and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality have been contacted for comment by PEOPLE, but did not immediately respond.

General Discussion / Big jump for sure especially for SF

A young family in San Francisco‘s Richmond District is facing heartbreak and potential displacement after receiving a shocking notice of a nearly 90% rent increase.
This astronomical rent bump means their monthly payment will go from $3,695 to a whopping $7,000 starting in September 2026.
“I could cry right now. I’ve been doing a lot of crying,” Ashley Waldman told NBC Bay Area of the rent increase. “This is our home, so it’s been really difficult.”
Ashley Waldman and her husband Zachary, both aged in their early 30s, moved into their two-bedroom, two-bath, top-floor condo in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic and started a family there. Their 19-month-old son Henry has grown up in that condo and attends nearby subsidized daycare.
The family described the home as a safe, comfortable place they hoped to stay in long-term.
When they first moved in, the original rent on the home was $3,500, where it stayed until 2025 before being bumped up to a still-digestible monthly amount.
The family-of-three can no longer afford to live in their condo, after the rent was increased 90%.
Last Friday, the tenants found a notice taped to their door informing them of the massive increase following the building’s recent change in ownership at the end of May. The new owners claim the single-family property is exempt from certain San Francisco and state tenant protections, allowing for the steep hike.
“They’re kicking us out,” Zach Waldman told the San Francisco Standard. “Paying this is not an option. We can’t afford that. Not even close.”
The Waldmans’ situation is emblematic of the brutal economic reality many San Francisco renters face in a city with chronic housing shortages and sky-high market rents.
While San Francisco has rent control laws that typically limit annual increases (currently capped at 1.6% for covered units, according to the San Francisco Rent Control Board), certain properties — especially those that recently changed ownership or fall under specific exemptions — can see much larger jumps.
Since the Waldmans moved into their Richmond District apartment in 2021 — around two years after California’s statewide rent control law took effect on January 1, 2020 — they say they were never properly informed that the unit was exempt from the law’s tenant protections.
Lifelong San Franciscan Ashley Waldman now faces the painful decision of whether her family can afford to stay put.
Facebook
Advocates say this case exposes loopholes that allow new landlords to dramatically raise rents, effectively forcing long-term tenants out so units can be reset to full market rates.
“It’s horrendous, it’s awful,” Ora Prochovnick, the director of litigation and policy at the Eviction Defense Collaborative, told The Standard. “It’s an extreme rent increase.
“What’s fair and what’s legal don’t necessarily overlap,” Prochovnick added.
The Waldmans, who are lifelong San Franciscans, now face the painful decision of whether they can afford to stay in the city they love or join the growing number of families priced out of the Bay Area.
“We’re basically stuck,” Zack Waldman told The Standard. “I don’t really know what our options are.”

General Discussion / RN does DoorDash after her 12hr shift for rent, NO not the LIAR's "fake RN wife"
« Last post by theking on Today at 12:39:32 AM »‘I Can’t Afford Gas. I Can’t Afford Groceries’: A California Operating Room Nurse Is DoorDashing After 12-Hour Shifts to Pay Rent
A video on X shows a woman starting her late-night DoorDash shift. In the video, she sits in her car and describes her frustration because she is also an operating room nurse in California.
The video was originally posted on TikTok by @itsbirdoclock. In it, the woman says she had already worked 12 hours that day but is still unable to pay her rent.
"I can't afford gas. I can't afford groceries. I can't afford any of my endless other bills," she says her voice exhausted. She added that, after being on her feet all day, she was DoorDash-ing at 12:30 a.m. She also said she had spilled a milkshake on herself while making a delivery.
The video, however, deeply divided viewers. "She works in an operating room. Prices need to come down, and wages need to come up," wrote a user. But many others were skeptical of her financial situation and even questioned her spending habits.
The average registered nurse in California earns approximately $122,623 per year, which is about 21% above the national average, according to Glassdoor. But the average rent across California is now roughly $2,202 per month. According to SmartAsset, California's average rent is about 35% higher than the national average, and one may need around $5,430 per month for basic living expenses.
The video included on-screen text reading 'this country is a joke.'

What’s happening? Alarming poll finds that half of Americans do not care about the World Cup
The World Cup 2026 begins today and, according to a new poll, many Americans don't really care.
More than 4 in 10 American respondents to a new poll from Emerson College said they weren't interested in this year's tournament. The survey was conducted on June 7 and 8 — just days before the starting matches — and found that 45 percent of the 1,200 respondents said they had no interest in the event. A third of respondents said they had some interest, and 22 percent said they were very interested, The Hill reports. Some Scottish fans who've traveled to Boston to watch World Cup matches told BBC News Scotland that some of the Americans they've met don't even know the tournament is happening. One fan said he went to send a letter while wearing his Scotland jersey and the American woman working the counter asked him what had brought him to the states.
Here's a photo of her and her jersey:
