NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is poised to agree a sale to Elon Musk for around $43 billion in cash, the price the chief executive of Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has called his "best and final" offer for the social media company, people familiar with the matter said.

Twitter may announce the $54.20-per-share deal later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said. It is always possible that the deal collapses at the last minute, the sources added.

Musk, the world's richest person according to a tally by Forbes, is negotiating to buy Twitter in a personal capacity and Tesla is not involved in the deal.

Twitter has not been able to secure so far a 'go-shop' provision under its agreement with Musk that would allow it to solicit other bids once the deal is signed, the sources said. Still, Twitter would be allowed to accept an offer from another party by paying Musk a break-up fee, the sources added.

The sources requested anonymity because the matter is confidential. Twitter and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Twitter shares were up 4.5% in pre-market trading in New York on Monday at $51.15.

Musk has said Twitter needs to be taken private to grow and become a genuine platform for free speech.

The deal would come just four days after Musk unveiled a financing package to back the acquisition. This led Twitter's board to take the deal more seriously and many shareholders to ask the company not to let the opportunity for a deal to slip away, Reuters reported on Sunday.

Imagine the worst argument you have ever experienced with your significant other. Now, count yourself lucky that you were not in a relationship with Amber Heard.

Actor Johnny Depp is currently suing his former wife Amber Heard for defamation, and some shocking details have come to light. In his testimony, Depp explained that Heard left a "fecal delivery" on his side of the bed and that Heard tried to blame it on their dogs. Heard eventually admitted to leaving poop on Depp's side of the bed, calling it a "prank."

Steven Crowder discussed this on Thursday's episode of Louder with Crowder. "Context matters," Crowder said. "She did admit to this and called it a prank. After she abused him and left him while his mother was sick? No, that's not a prank."

Crowder added that it is also "disgusting that a woman could do that angrily on command."

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia has successfully tested the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, saying the weapon capable of carrying nuclear charges will make the Kremlin’s enemies “think twice”. The Sarmat – dubbed Satan 2 by Western analysts – is among Russia’s next-generation missiles that Putin has called “invincible”, and which also include the Kinzhal and Avangard hypersonic missiles.

BOCA RATON, Fla. —
Sam Ron pointed to a framed photo on the wall inside his home in Boca Raton, Florida.
"This is my house in Poland," he said.

The photo hangs along with dozens of others.

"This is after the war," he said. "We survived."

They are all photos of Ron and his family, both before and after their time in concentration camps in World War II.

"It was terrible. Hunger was the worst thing at the camp," Ron said.

In all, Ron survived five different camps during the war, including a labor camp in Poland called Pionki.

"That camp was hard work, very little food," Ron said.

After the war, Ron crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. He has called South Florida his home for the last 25 years.

Last week, he was the honorary speaker at an event in Boca Raton hosted by the Holocaust Memorial Museum. There were other holocaust survivors there also, including a man named Jack Waksal.

At his home in Bal Harbour, Waksal showed sister station WPBF his mementos from his childhood and from the war, including a photo of himself shortly after the war ended.

"That's when I came out of the forest," he said, referring to where he spent the final six months of World War II, hiding from the Nazis.

Waksal said when he arrived at the event in Boca Raton, he quickly thought he knew Ron from somewhere, but couldn't place it.

"He was standing to the side," Waksal said. "And I said to somebody, 'I know this guy.'"

Eventually, everyone found their tables and the event began and included a video about Ron's life and the many camps he survived.

"They say that I was in the Camp Pionki," Ron said with a smile on his face. "This one guy jumped out from the house and came over to kiss me. 'You're my brother! You’re my brother!'"

That "one guy" was Waksal.

"I went to his table, and I said, 'Sam! You are alive!'" Waksal said.

Waksal had also been an inmate at Pionki, working side by side with Ron. Neither man knew if the other had survived.

The two men hadn’t seen each other in 79 years.

"Oh, I was all excited," Ron said. "This was unusual. It’s 79 years now. We’re 97 years old!"

"You think it’s never going to happen," Waksal said, shaking his head. "But it did happen."

"I met a lot of people before this," Ron said. "But not like this. After 80 years?"

As they talked, the two men realized the similar paths they had taken. Both men came to the United States after the war and both settled in Ohio for years. They then both moved to Florida and then they reunited by chance at a dinner in Boca Raton.

"It's an amazing story. I was so taken by this," Ron said. "It got me a lot of hope. I was very excited about it."

Ron and Waksal have spoken by phone since the dinner and have promised to keep in touch.

The Russian Economy is on the verge of collapsing.

Russia's only hope is Pulling NATO into the conflict. Then nuclear chaos might be a chance for some survival.




HAPPY EASTER! ::uhoh:

In case you need more proof that the conspiracy theory about Donald Trump that obsessed the press and congressional Democrats for four years was made up by Hillary Clinton and her campaign, here comes another piece of evidence: John Durham reveals that the “A secret Trump server is communicating with a Russian bank” claim is bunk.

In a new filing, Durham reveals that the CIA concluded that cellphone data and Internet traffic provided by Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann was “not technically plausible” and “user created.” Just like the Christopher Steele dossier, they made it all up. Wish the CIA could have told us that.

Robert Mueller said as much, yet many on the left continued to ignore his absolution, just as they will likely ignore or paper over the special counsel’s conclusions. Clinton’s team invented a story, forged evidence, and then presented it to the FBI and CIA as if it was something worth pursuing, derailing a presidency for years.

Let’s review:

ALLEGATION: Trump had a secret computer server in communication with a Russian bank, and a Russian-made phone followed him wherever he went.

VERDICT: False. The CIA concluded the data, presented by Clinton lawyer Sussmann, who lied to agents that he was working independently, wasn’t plausible. Many computer experts have since dismissed it as baloney.

ALLEGATION: Trump used “moles in the DNC” to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.

VERDICT: False. Mueller found no evidence of this, nor did anyone else. The emails were hacked, likely by a Russian group, and the Trump campaign had no knowledge it was going to happen, reporting has found.

ALLEGATION: The Russians had “kompromat” on Trump, including videos of him with prostitutes.

VERDICT: False. Agents and reporters found no evidence. Nothing was ever released. Trump denied it and there was no support for the allegation. In fact, Durham alleges a Democratic operative was the source for Steele, meaning it was rumor-fueled, and likely made up, by people in Clinton’s orbit.

ALLEGATION: Trump will help lift sanctions and boost Russia because he is compromised.

VERDICT: False. Trump increased sanctions as president and, though he wanted to forge a new relationship with Russia, gave Vladimir Putin nothing that he wanted.

ALLEGATION: Trump officials regularly met with Russian officials secretly.

VERDICT: False. The dossier says that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen met with Russian agents in Prague. That was denied repeatedly by Cohen and others and debunked by the Mueller report. After the election, Russian officials tried to contact Trump and inquire about top aide positions, information they should know about if Trump was really compromised.

We could go on and on, but much of the dossier and DNC allegations against Trump are “He likes Russia.” Trump never made his ambitions to try to warm Russian-American relations secret. If he was naive, it wasn’t compromised — it’s called political differences.

Yet “not technically plausible” and “user created” became the bywords of the day. Durham is chipping away at the conspiracy. And it is a conspiracy. The evidence is obvious.

ProPublica investigation uncovers how much 82 ultrarich families gained by Trump’s 2017 tax cut
SHARE THIS -
COPIED
New reporting by ProPublica found that a specific tax break that found its way into President Trump's 2017 tax bill benefited only “82 families” per one of the reporters, Justin Elliott. That Republican tax bill gifted the wealthiest of corporations $233 billion in tax cuts, according to the Center for American Progress. $233 Billion in tax cuts to corporations. $69 Billion to lift low-income families above the poverty line. Those tax cuts to people and companies that didn’t need them could have solved American poverty. Says Elliott, “this part of the Trump tax bill was extremely tilted towards the richest people in the country.”

A man was in the crawl space trying to fix a plumbing issue at his girlfriend’s mobile home in western Pennsylvania when he discovered another problem.
He tells her "I think there is a dead body under there."
He was right.

The woman has lived in the mobile home for about five years with her daughter and she sometimes thought a dead animal was causing a bad smell.

FIVE YEARS??

Something about this story stinks!
