Ohtani a victim, Mizuhara accused of stealing over $16 million from him

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/11/sport/ippei-mizuhara-shohei-ohtani-investigation/index.html

Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani, faces a federal charge of bank fraud after allegedly stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani, a US attorney in Los Angeles announced Thursday.

US Attorney Martin Estrada said Mizuhara made unauthorized transfers from Ohtani’s bank account from November 2021 until January 2024.

Mizuhara used his close relationship with Ohtani – someone whom he accompanied on a constant basis due to the Japanese star’s limited understanding of English – to fuel his gambling addiction, a statement from the US attorney’s office said.

Estrada said Ohtani is “considered a victim in this case,” and there’s no evidence suggesting Ohtani was actively involved.

I follow this person, Tia Levings, on Instagram. She explains dangers of the evangelical community

She escaped that world and wants to educate those like myself who don’t understand it.

Is it possible to embed Instagram reels?

Katie Couric and Mary Trump interview Adam Kinzinger

This is a great interview. I may not agree with Adam Kinzinger on many issues, but he is ethical and intelligent.

Nicolle Wallace just hit the nail on the head

In covering Jack Smith’s new filing to gag Trump, she posed the question she faces, how should the media, including her own show, discuss what Trump posts and what he says. Giving him a platform allows Trump to give orders to his base.

Allowing Trump a platform, without calling him out on his lies, gives him the ability to taint the jury pool and threaten those involved in the cases he has been indicted. Kristen Welker and NBC, need to think twice about airing the interview on MTP this weekend.

Nicolle’s show today was amazing. You can see and hear her frustration and she is correct, a second Trump term would eliminate her job and the job of everyone at MSNBC and the rest of the news organizations that provide factually correct news.

Anybody heard of Project 2025?

These Instagram reels contain language that may not be safe for work.

Fundamentalists are planning to take over the country. I follow a woman on Instagram, Tia Levings, who left the evangelical church and she shares her experiences and educates those who are unaware just what the religious zealots want to do. I’d never heard of it, so I Googled. I’ve been paying attention to Trump’s multiple indictments and other world news, but I’ve completely missed hearing about Project 2025. Truly sick stuff. This next election is so very important.

Today is the day Oregonians can pump their own gas

I’ve been spoiled having gas attendants fill the tank for me!

https://www.koin.com/news/politics/gov-tina-kotek-to-sign-self-pump-gas-bill-into-law-friday-officials-say/

House Bill 2426, once signed, will bring the ban to an immediate end.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Gov. Tina Kotek’s office has confirmed that the self-serve gas bill, awaiting her signature since it passed with bipartisan support in June, will receive her approval on Friday.

Once House Bill 2426 receives the governor’s signature, it will bring the ban – in place since the 1950s – to an immediate end.

The bill allows gas stations across the state to give drivers the option to either pump their own gas or have an attendant do it. It also requires that gas cost the same amount no matter what service a person chooses and does not allow stations to have more self-service pumps than attendant-service pumps.
