Top Five Ozzy Tunes on Grab A Stack of Rock with Peter Kerr, Mike Slayen and John Clauser
Hot on the heels of his excellent interview with bassist Bob Daisley, Peter Kerr suggested we run through the Top Five Ozzy Osbourne solo songs, and a brilliant idea it was! Ozzy’s solo career is rich, especially in the early years, with beautiful ballads and incendiary metal. There are heavy progressive moments, advanced arrangements, and brilliant lyrics. We gave Ozzy’s career a solid listen…

BREAKING:I will sell my company if I Become US president – Mike Bloomberg
New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/breakingi-will-sell-my-company-if-i-become-us-president-mike-bloomberg/
BREAKING:I will sell my company if I Become US president – Mike Bloomberg
Democratic presidential contender Mike Bloomberg will sell Bloomberg LP, the financial information company that made him a billionaire, if he is elected to the White House in November, his campaign confirmed on Tuesday.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Bloomberg has risen quickly in opinion polls since entering the race for the Democratic nomination in November and he will appear in his first debate of the election cycle on Wednesday in Las Vegas. Democrats are vying for the right to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election.
The former New York mayor has said before he would likely sell Bloomberg LP if elected, which his campaign affirmed on Tuesday.
“If elected president, Mike will sell the company,” spokeswoman Galia Slayen said.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Bloomberg LP provides financial information to Wall Street firms in addition to news. It is privately held, with Bloomberg himself owning most of the company, which he founded in 1981. Analysts at Burton-Taylor International Consulting estimate the firm generated over $10 billion in revenue in 2019.
Reuters News competes with Bloomberg LP’s news service.
The Bloomberg campaign said the process of selling the company would begin with putting it in a blind trust and then selling it.

Bloomberg is not competing in the early voting states of the Democratic nomination process and instead hopes to start winning votes when 14 states vote on March 3 in the Super Tuesday contests.

At a closed-door fundraiser late last year, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) was notably fixated on, and visibly irritated by, one of the fellow Democrats vying for the presidential nomination. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had just entered the race. But he had already managed to get under his competitor’s skin. At the event in Northern Virginia, Klobuchar talked at length about Bloomberg’s massive TV ad blitz and the gobs of cash he was planning to throw into the 2020 primary, according to an account from a source in the room who attended. “She talked about how she was on a Sunday show for 10 minutes and saw five or six Bloomberg ads while she was in the green room,” the Democratic attendee, who donated money to Klobuchar’s campaign for entrance into the event, told The Daily Beast. “She’s very worried about the amount of money he’s spending.”“It was 60 percent of what she talked about,” the source estimated. The private moment, which occurred before the senator had opened her fundraisers to the press, provided an early glimpse into what has become a growing sense of internal anxiety from some Democratic campaigns about the billionaire candidate’s potential to shake up the primary that he entered so late. Klobuchar has since made those concerns public, criticizing Bloomberg for trying to buy the nomination. And with just two weeks before voting starts, her concerns that the former mayor may just pull it off are beginning to be echoed elsewhere. Bloomberg still lags in the polls. But national averages now have him tied for fourth place at 7.7 percent with former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has spent a year pounding the campaign trail. Suddenly, talk of Bloomberg becoming the nominee has gone from being dismissed as the stuff of political fantasy to being entertained as a true reality among campaigns. “I think there is a 10-15 percent chance that Bloomberg pulls it off,” said one top Democratic fundraiser, who has worked closely with the presidential campaigns. “At this juncture, when you can spend that amount of money on TV across the country, you do take it seriously,” said a top official for a competing campaign. “And he's gotten a bump in the polls, so it is nothing to scoff at.”The official, who would only talk on condition of anonymity, still expressed pessimism that Bloomberg could pull it off, arguing that “the argument for a nice billionaire” had not “made traction” as much as it needed to, considering the war chest devoted to it. And, indeed, the Bloomberg path still remains predicated on a series of unlikely events: that no actual candidate emerges from the first four primary states and that former Vice President Joe Biden ends up dramatically weakened by a poor showing in those contests. Should that be the case—the theory goes—Bloomberg’s ad spending in other states would propel him in the polls, turn him into the moderate alternative that Biden was supposed to be, and help him eke it out in a contested convention. You Think Trump’s a Danger to Democracy? Get a Load of Bloomberg.In his short time in the race, Bloomberg’s campaign has ramped up its infrastructure and ground game. He has scored several endorsements from fellow mayors and members of congress, held major events for a new campaign—including a stop that attracted 700 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma and another that brought in 500 in Akron, Ohio—and deployed 700 people across 33 states, including 300 in his New York City headquarters. Bloomberg’s team is currently airing ads in 27 states, including all Super Tuesday contests.Eyeing these movements, some rivals have begun more forcefully calling him out by name, while others have worked in private, conducting internal polling on his possible delegate hauls and pushing opposition research to blunt his traction. Another source from a rival campaign said that Bloomberg doesn’t factor into their official strategy, but conceded that staffers are following his moves in certain states, including California, which represents a potentially huge delegate haul for hizzoner. ��We see that Bloomberg’s playing very big in California,” the senior campaign aide said. “We are very quick in adapting. We can switch messages very fast. And we have the resources to go the long game.”A third opponent’s team is keeping close enough tabs on Bloomberg that aides are dedicating internal polling resources to game out potential delegate scenarios on Super Tuesday, where 15 states are set to vote in early March. The Daily Beast recently reported that, according to the Democratic rival’s internal data—a summary of which was independently corroborated by multiple independent analysts—Bloomberg was not on track to receive a single delegate on that day. The Democratic National Committee’s rules stipulate that a candidate must win 15 percent of the vote statewide or 15 percent by any congressional district in order to collect any delegates.Privately, some establishment Democrats are cheering the Bloomberg boomlet, having talked themselves into the prospect of a Democratic presidential candidate with centrist appeal and absurdly deep pockets being the best nominee to take on Trump. “Everyone I talk to is convinced he would win,” said one top party donor. Elizabeth Warren Has Finally Found a 2020 Dem to Attack in Michael BloombergBloomberg has helped his standing among party members by pledging to support and spend heavily on whoever is the nominee and by notably keeping the focus of his ad campaign on attacking Trump and not fellow candidates. One Democratic strategist who recently spoke with Bloomberg’s team said that they broached the idea of going after Biden but quickly dismissed it out of hand. “They’re not prepared to take Joe down,” said the strategist. “Their view is we go through the first four contests and it is a complete muzzle.” For the progressive wing of the party, however, a Bloomberg candidacy represents a moral conundrum and political peril—with fear rampant that he would not excite the very constituencies that the party needs to win; mainly young voters and voters of color. As such, they’ve engaged him more directly. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who in late November chose Bloomberg as the first candidate to criticize after months of remaining rhetorically positive about her rivals, has turned up her fire in recent days. On Wednesday, the Massachusetts senator called for a close vetting of the billionaire Democrat over his news corporation’s guidance to reporters.“Bloomberg News banned its reporters from investigating Democratic candidates as Mike Bloomberg runs for president. This ban puts reporters in an impossible situation and undermines a free press. Bloomberg should lift the ban and divest from Bloomberg News,” Warren tweeted on Wednesday. She then threw herself into the equation: “I’ve taken more than a thousand unfiltered questions from the press and from voters since I got in the race. I welcome tough questions and scrutiny because the free press is a cornerstone of our democracy—and every presidential candidate should be closely vetted.”Bloomberg’s campaign manager Kevin Sheekey responded in an interview with Fox and Friends by calling Warren “nervous.” “I think she’s nervous that Mike Bloomberg is catching up on her. Mike is now in fourth place in this race and will probably pass her and be in third place soon,” Sheekey said. Asked about the idea that other candidates are starting to worry about their campaign, a Bloomberg official did what the campaign has been doing since the onset: turned the attention back towards Trump. “We are confident that Mike is the best candidate to beat Donald Trump and that’s why we’re building the most robust national campaign to take him on,” Galia Slayen, a campaign spokeswoman, told The Daily Beast.

31 Nights of Hallowicked Night One
The two wrestlers that grabbed my attention from Chikara weren’t the best “workers” or even the most famous wrestlers on the roster. No, the Chikara wrestlers that first grabbed my attention were instead the coolest gimmicks. Dasher Hatfield, a time-traveling baseball head and Hallowicked who I only read his terrifying name but it instantly grabbed my attention. I pictured a pumpkin-headed, evil villain terrorizing Chikara. I was pretty much correct in that.
Hallowicked was Grand Champion when I first started getting into Chikara. I read an article where Princess Kimber Lee beating him for the Grand Championship and along with the other stories I read about on that card I was sold instantly. I started following Chikara on twitter and have kept up with them since. I have gone to two of their shows and Connecticut but have never gotten to see any shows at The Wrestle Factory.
Chikara and Chikaratopia offer such a giant video back with a long and dense back history there is so much to explore. I have started this Chikara project to look all over Chikara history through a rudo who was there from day one. Inspired by things like Inktober and preparing to start Novel Writing November I have decided to write about one Hallowicked match every night for the entire month of October.
Night One The Renaissance Dawns
I started from the very beginning. This is the very first show and Hallowicked is one of the first graduates of the Wrestling Factory. He teams with Icabob Slayne (who unmasks at the end of season one as Icarus) as Night Shift. They would be teaming against Marshal Law and Lovebug, the team of Beauty and The Beast, two wrestlers who were all over the first season and impedimental to Chikara in the early days. This is one of the two shows from Chikara’s first season that exists and has had commentary added to it long after the fact by Mike Quakenbush and Bryce Remsburg. It is a fantastic and informative commentary that goes into some interesting notes about Chikara’s very first show.
Hallowicked and Icabob Slayen come out in matching black leather pants and black shirts. Hallowicked’s mask will look familiar to anyone who has seen his green colored masked. Icabob has a strange mask and his curly blonde hair overflows out the back. Lovebug and Marshal Law are two very big boys. Apparently, these two have much more experience then these Hallowicked and Icabob who are having their first match and it shows. Icabob and Hallowicked don’t get much of anything in. Icabob has a little bit of offense here or there but mostly gets beaten up.
Hallowicked cheats, chokes and distracts the ref but doesn't get too much in offense wise. He gets a few strikes in and takes a gnarly looking Okaka Cutter by Love Bug he bounces hard and flops to the mat. Hallowicked then tags in Icabob for the hot tag. Marshal Law has other plans and clotheslines both rookies hard to the ground.
Hallowicked tries to work himself out of a double team but gets caught and sidewalk slammed hard to the ground and gets pinned but Icarus breaks it up. The two rudos leave the ring, get back in, taunt their much bigger opponent then quickly make a run for it. They get chased around the ring and catch Marshal Law by pulling him into the top rope and he drops to the ground, not very far below. Hallowicked and Icabob get in some offense with a few boots outside. Hallowicked rolls Marshall Law back into the ring and they take turns hitting the ropes and stomping on Marshal Law.
Hallowicked gets tagged in and he and Icabob start to double team Marshal Law in their corner. They get a double arm drag on Marshal Law as the ref turns around arguing with Law’s partner. Hallowicked picks up Icabob and drops him onto Marshal Law in one of their “classic moves”. Beauty and the Beast start to overwhelm Night Shift but Icabob gets back momentum by flinging Halllowicked into Love Bug then Hallowicked drops to his hands and knees and Icabob jumps off him into Love Bug. Love Bug uses his size and strength to catch Icabob. Hallowicked gets clotheslined by Marshal Law and Icabob gets power bombed and locked into the king crab where he is forced to tap.
This match was a fun watch both mostly because of the commentary had a very Deep Blue Something feel and I miss that podcast more than anything. The match itself wasn’t much different than any tag team match on a local wrestling show. It is amazing to compare day one Hallowicked to the veteran Hallowicked of today.
Some fun trivia from the commentary:
Hallowicked and Icabob Slayne were close friends from childhood when they came to the Wrestle Factory.
The old Wrestle Factory was a hot mess.
The masks these two were wearing were Carnage inspired.

The Hill reports about an email from Planned Parenthood Action Fund featuring the words of actress Lena Dunham.
“I vote because the number of backwards, out-of-touch, downright freaking unbelievably anti-women’s health politicians out there right now makes my blood boil,” Dunham wrote.
“The crazy and depressing truth is that there are people running for office right now who could actually affect your life. PARTICULARLY your sex life. PARTICULARLY if you’re a woman.”
This girl has a one track mind. You probably remember her disturbing and awkward political ad from 2012. Eww: In OFA video, actress Lena Dunham likens voting for Obama to losing virginity
