Trump to Appoint Dan Bishop as US Attorney

President Donald Trump is set to appoint Dan Bishop as U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina. Bishop is currently the Office of Management and Budget deputy director and has served in Congress since 2019.

Bishop, who could be confirmed as early as next week, has called for reform in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. While in Congress, he was a member of a subcommittee that investigated alleged discrimination on the part of the federal government toward conservative groups.

Bishop’s career began in as a Mecklenburg County commissioner, where he served from 2004 to 2008 before moving on to the state’s General Assembly. 

Coast Guard Rescues Sailboat Crew

The vessel began taking on water, and the crew abandoned ship. Due to the distance from shore, the Coast Guard coordinated the rescue attempt with the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush to ensure the rescue helicopters were refueling.

The Coast Guard launched several rescue aircraft, including an HC-130, which located the crew. There were no injuries reported.

1968 Cold Case Victim Identified

Authorities have identified the victim in North Carolina’s oldest cold case through a joint investigation by the Wake County Sheriff’s Office and the state Bureau of Investigation.

The victim was identified as Myrtle Holcomb, who authorities believe went missing on April 27, 1968. Witnesses at the time noticed a fire in a field the night before Holcomb’s body was found. Her body was so badly burned that it couldn’t be identified.

In 2004, investigators found enough evidence to charge a suspect, Robert Reagan, with murder, but he had died in 1992.

A DNA analysis of Holcomb’s hair helped locate relatives, who corroborated information about Holcomb and confirmed her passing.

There are 28 unsolved homicide cases in North Carolina.

Washington Wants Control Over Your Money. Here’s How to Opt Out.

The Federal Reserve has printed $4.8 trillion in the past three years. Your savings account pays 0.5% while inflation has run as high as 8%. The math doesn’t work in your favor.

A small group of Americans has discovered a way to completely bypass the traditional banking system. They’re using decentralized finance to become their own banks, collecting the same transaction fees that JPMorgan and Citigroup earn: 12%-20% monthly returns, regardless of whether markets go up or down.

Tan Gera, a former Wall Street investment banker, now teaches this strategy through Decentralized Masters. Over 3,000 people have positioned their wealth outside government reach.

No permission needed. No middleman. Just complete financial autonomy.

While everyone else is asking the government for permission, you can start becoming your own bank today.

Why Smart Crypto Investors Never Use Coinbase (Where They Buy Instead):

By the time crypto hits Coinbase, it’s already too late. Institutional investors buy months earlier on “Native Markets”—accessing crypto assets before mainstream listing, where the potential for 100x returns exists before retail investors hear about them.
