NLPC: Special Counsel Jack Smith Must Close Shop

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center Counsel Paul Kamenar and Chairman Peter Flaherty issued the statements below regarding the future of federal prosecutions of Donald Trump. “It appears that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is coming to his senses and preparing to drop the two federal prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump, ” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to NLPC. Although he vowed this summer to continue the prosecutions up until Inauguration Day if Trump got elected, neither of the two pending prosecutions, one in the District of Columbia for alleged election interference and the other in Florida regarding the classified documents case, could be tried before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. “The public jury has spoken overwhelmingly on election day that these political prosecutions be dropped,” said Peter Flaherty, NLPC Chairman. Once he becomes President, Trump can order his Acting Attorney General that Jack Smith be fired and the two cases be dismissed plus under Justice Department policy, a sitting president cannot be prosecuted. The most that Jack Smith can do now is write his report and submit it to Congress before he is fired. NLPC has been critical of Jack Smith’s prosecutions since they began. Indeed, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Florida Mar-a-Lago case based on the unconstitutional appointment of Jack Smith, the very issue which NLPC supported in the legal challenge to Robert Mueller’s appointment in the Russia hoax case. As for the two remaining state cases, Trump lawyers are asking that those cases also be dropped. The sentencing in the biased New York hush money was already postponed to November 17 and there are immunity issues in that case as well stemming from the Supreme Court’s decision granting Trump immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office. The Georgia case is on appeal regarding the legality of prosecutor Fani Willis staying on the case but should also be dismissed. According to Flaherty, “For the sake of the Rule of Law, it is a good thing that Trump won. If he had not, these prosecutions would continue, and future Republican candidates for President and other offices would face a barrage of lawsuits calculated to destroy their candidacies, livelihoods and reputations. Hopefully, the ‘lawfare’ warriors have learned their lesson, and we can return to free and fair elections.” For more information or to schedule an interview with Peter Flaherty or Paul Kamenar, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

Innovation Beverage Group Offers Zero-Alcohol Range As Non-Alcoholic Beverages Market Grows

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Society’s tastes and preferences are constantly changing; as such, the most forward-thinking companies strive to anticipate where new preferences may manifest and to be present for interested consumers. In the beverage industry, non-alcoholic beers and wines are gaining prominence amongst consumers, opening the pathway for beverage producers to offer new and refreshing products akin to alcoholic beverages, but without their undesirable effects or long-term health consequences. Striving to become a key player in the non-alcoholic beverage market, Innovation Beverage Group (NASDAQ: IBG) stands out as a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a diverse beverage portfolio. With 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, the company is striving to be at the forefront of catering to evolving consumer preferences. The Growth Of The Non-Alcoholic Beverage Market According to research by Introspective Market Research (IMR), the global non-alcoholic beer and wine market was estimated at $22.65 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $37.21 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%. While once considered a niche market, non-alcoholic beers and wines have become a material opportunity for beverage producers, but why is the question? The answer is varied. While changes in societal preference and attitudes toward alcohol consumption is an overarching rationale, there are other reasons many people are making this change. As detailed in IMR’s report, the rising health consciousness among consumers is arguably the primary reason behind the growth of the non-alcohol beer and wine market. With growing awareness about the health implications of excessive alcohol consumption and lifestyle movements such as Sober Curious, individuals, particularly millennials, are driving demand for this beverage category. The International Wine and Spirits Record (IWSR) recently reported that millennials are willing to try new products across the no-alcohol spectrum. Furthermore, almost half of millennial no-alcohol consumers are classed as ‘substituters’ – in other words, those who drink no-alcohol products on some occasions, and full-strength on others – and they are also disproportionately frequent no-alcohol consumers, accounting for 51% of frequent no-alcohol consumers in the US, and 47% of consistent consumers. Technology and product innovation are also driving the growth of the non-alcoholic beverage category. As outlined in the IMR report, leading companies are making the necessary investments to compete in this category, using industry-leading processes, such as vacuum distillation and fermentation control, to create non-alcoholic beers and wines that closely replicate the flavor profiles of traditional alcoholic beverages. This technological advancement has played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and gaining consumer acceptance, propelling the market forward. Another important consideration aiding the growth of the non-alcoholic beverage category is regulation and accessibility. As highlighted in the IMR report, in regions such as Europe, where non-alcoholic beverages are not subject to excise duty, the cost advantage can boost market growth by lowering consumer prices, enhancing affordability, and stimulating demand. Furthermore, being able to brand a product as “0% alcohol-free” offers a potential competitive advantage, enabling producers to position them as healthier options. The alcohol-free designation allows food delivery platforms, such as Uber (NYSE:UBER) or DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH), to facilitate the sale and distribution of these products to consumers easily, as there is no requirement to show any identification to verify a purchaser's age for such products. Attaining Success In The Non-Alcoholic Beverage Category The non-alcoholic beverage category presents an opportunity for beverage producers to think differently and understand their consumers. Earlier this year, the Boston Consulting Group published a brief on the growth of the non-alcoholic beverage category, highlighting the factors that will aid beverage producers in gaining success. Top of the list was great products. In this increasingly competitive category, making a beverage with a distinct flavor profile and broad appeal is important. As such, beverage producers that invest in research and development have the potential to differentiate themselves. The second factor is brand perception. While it would be easy for established players to leverage their existing brand by making an alcohol-free version of their regular product as a means of entering the category; that may not have any staying power in the long run. As such, beverage producers need to be intentional and thoughtful as they enter the category, creating distinct brands. Finally, customer knowledge is also key. Societal preferences are ever-changing, as such, being able to identify these trends and align one’s product messaging and marketing to them is truly powerful. With individuals becoming more health-conscious or being more mindful and aware of their consumption habits, beverage producers are able to market their non-alcoholic beverages to individuals on the basis of their belief and lifestyle. IBG’s Drummberboy; A Non-Alcoholic Spirit For Those That Want To Forge Their Own Path Discussions about the non-alcoholic beverage category lean towards beer and wine, as such, IBG has attempted to differentiate themselves from the field with their Drummerboy non-alcoholic spirits, which include whiskey, tequila, gin, vermouth and aperitif. Four of out the five drinks have been awarded by the Melbourne International Spirits Competition (2022) and International Wine & Spirits Competition (2023). From a brand perception standpoint, Drummberboy actively leans into its non-alcoholic nature with the tagline “Zero Alcohol, Zero Cares Given.” Finally, the IBG has found ways to promote and align the product with consumers digitally, by way of having mocktail recipe guides on their website and tutorials on YouTube. A Distinctive Company With An Eye On The Future IBG wants to disrupt the beverage landscape by making quality an attribute across its versatile product offerings. Drummerboy is an example of the firm’s ability to do so, particularly in the fast-growing non-alcoholic beverage category. As IBG makes its way into the U.S. market, leveraging its potential competitive advantages of proprietary technology and vertical integration, the firm hopes to continue to bring to market more distinct and premium beverage offerings for consumers to enjoy. For more information on IBG's recent corporate activities and developments, read about their recent executive appointment and partnership with Sysco (NYSE: SYY), a leader in foodservice distribution.

Coinbase Custody To Provide Custodial Services To iTrustCapital For Retail Client Digital Assets

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga The growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies requires trusted partners capable of safely securing and providing liquidity for these digital assets. Recently, iTrustCapital announced that Coinbase Custody will provide digital asset custodial and liquidity services for its large retail client base within the tax-advantaged crypto IRA sector. Against the backdrop of an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has risen in appeal. As estimated by KPMG, as of May 2023, decentralized finance represents $47.479 billion of liquidity stored across various blockchains. In the present, with Donald Trump winning the Presidential Election, the anticipation of further China stimulus and the U.S. Federal Reserve further reducing rates, Bitcoin is making new highs. This is an indication that investors are allocating more to the asset class during this globally volatile period. With more investors engaging in multi-asset investing, with cryptocurrencies being a part of their asset allocation, safely securing these assets is paramount. The growth is also evident on the institutional front, as institutional investors are set to increase digital asset allocations in their portfolio to 7% by 2027, as detailed in a recent report commissioned by crypto exchange OKX. Now, iTrustCapital says it is leveraging one of the largest and most respected names in the digital asset arena with its new partnership. In turn, the company says Coinbase Custody’s institutional services could further enhance iTrustCapital’s platform capabilities by offering access to a wide array of digital assets, improved liquidity and secure asset storage, among other crypto services. “Coinbase's reputation for security and user experience perfectly aligns with iTrustCapital's mission to provide the highest levels of safety, security, convenience, and optionality for our clients,” said Kevin Maloney, CEO of iTrustCapital. Founded in 2018, iTrustCapital has worked on differentiating itself from other crypto platforms by focusing on low-cost, secure, tax-advantaged retirement investing while aiming to provide an excellent client experience. In recent years, the iTrustCapital platform has received multiple awards for its service, design and innovation. The company says it now supports over 50,000 client-funded accounts, managing billions in retirement assets, with more than $10 billion in transactions completed to date. Coinbase, founded in 2012, has strived to bring cryptocurrency to the mainstream. With a vision to create an open financial system for the world, Coinbase and its institutional services division has grown into one of the largest and, it says, most trusted companies for digital assets.

Grab A Meal At A Lounge With 24/7 Security While Your EV Charges – Getaway Space Plans To Redefine EV Charging

Benzinga

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga While the future of transportation may well be electric, it’s important to keep in mind that without adequate public infrastructure, the underlying innovation won’t get very far. That’s where the solution provided by Getaway Space – a specialist in the electric-vehicle charging ecosystem – comes into play. Getaway offers a fresh rethink regarding next-generation mobility with a focus on addressing the key pain points dogging broader EV integration. Even better, early bird proponents have a chance to invest in the company through StartEngine. StartEngine enables everyday people to acquire shares in startups and early-stage enterprises. In effect, the platform facilitates a path for non-accredited investors to participate in equity crowdfunding campaigns. Fundamentally, the appeal is that retail investors can secure their stake in a promising company well before an initial public offering (IPO). Given the accelerating growth of EVs, Getaway is positioned in an intriguing industry for many. According to data provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA), nearly one in five vehicles sold last year was electric. Nominally, EV unit sales almost reached the 14 million mark, with 95% of these transactions materializing in China, Europe and the U.S. Subsequently, the total number of registered electric-powered vehicles stood at 40 million worldwide. The growth rate also offers insight into the pace of adoption. In 2022, EVs accounted for 14% of vehicle sales, compared to a mere 2% five years earlier in 2018. To put it simply, consumers globally are voting for electrification with their wallets. However, the transition to EVs has also led to buyer’s remorse for some, with drivers suddenly encountering significant friction that they didn’t envision earlier. But where the EV industry sees headwinds, Getaway sees opportunity. Getaway Space Offers A New EV Lounge Experience A lack of EV charging infrastructure has also been a key experience – and pain point – of the great EV rollout. While more consumers than ever are making the transition to electric mobility, many are also returning to the traditional paradigm. According to a report by McKinsey & Company, 46% of current EV owners in the U.S. plan to switch back to internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles. One of the frustrations tied to EV ownership is satisfaction with public charging availability. While drivers do report that satisfaction ratings have improved slightly, however, the lack of robust progress in this field presents a viable business opportunity for Getaway Space as it seeks to address driver pain points. Although much of the frontline attention is paid to EV sales, retention will likely be the critical metric moving forward. Here, the EV charging infrastructure currently available is largely inadequate to meet rising and evolving consumer demands. Fundamentally, one of the biggest concerns, if not the biggest issue, within the context of EV charging infrastructure is the lack of availability. With availability, it’s not just about the number of charging stations, although that is undoubtedly a key factor. It’s also about the net output or lack thereof. If a charging system is broken or otherwise non-functional to the driver, the solution might as well be non-existent. In fact, The Wall Street Journal reported that approximately 27% of fast chargers in the Los Angeles area were malfunctioning. Another catch-all challenge tied to public infrastructure is inconvenience and safety concerns. The rising popularity of EVs combined with common charging issues can create logjams at popular charging stations. Other facilities may be located in less secure neighborhoods or environments, presenting obvious risks. Finally, not everyone enjoys access to home-charging solutions. According to the Department of Energy, 63% of all housing units in the U.S. have a garage or carport. By logical deduction, that leaves 37% of housing units without such accommodations, yielding a large opportunity gap for Getaway Space to fill. Breaking Down The Getaway Difference Getaway seeks to address the charging infrastructure problem through a targeted focus on numbers and consumer needs. By first targeting Commerce, California – a major transportation hub near Downtown Los Angeles – the company can immediately make a positive impact. From there, management will work to broaden out, making EV integration a more realistic goal. However, that’s just the start. A key distinguishing factor about Getaway Space is that it marries creature comforts with the latest technologies. Even the fastest charging system will take at least 15 minutes to charge a vehicle to 80% capacity, if not longer. Getaway responds to this downtime with its partnership with Urth Caffé. A European-style coffeehouse based in Los Angeles since 1989, Urth offers grab-and-go organic meals along with coffee. Combined with high-speed Wi-Fi, spotless restrooms and 24/7 security, drivers can enjoy their own rejuvenation session before hitting the road. In other words, Getaway will meet consumers where they are, thus reducing the frustrations associated with public charging. With the company’s user-friendly app-based reservation system, customers can even secure their spots in advance. Payments can also be completed through the app, and the company’s stations have dedicated on-site staff to help with any concerns at all, from charging to payment. What’s more, when customers visit a Getaway Space, they will be assured of receiving what they came for: electrons. Engaging ex- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) engineers, the startup firm will ensure that the design and maintenance of the charging systems will feature minimal disruptions. In fact, Getaway aims for near 100% uptime. While an ambitious goal, if achieved, the convenience alone would distinguish the company from its competitors, which include ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NYSE: CHPT) and EVgo Inc (NASDAQ: EVGO). Moreover, Getaway’s 30 DC Fast Chargers on-site, wide amenities and coffeehouse partnership would contrast conspicuously with both ChargePoint’s and EVgo’s limited facility-based services. Getaway is also focused on building key partnerships with a focus on sustainability to help support its growth, and the company counts CleanTech Alliance and Sustain Southern California (Sustain SoCal) as partners, among others. Lastly, Getaway has also attracted institutional interest. Specifically, the company is projected to receive $1 million in non-dilutive funding from a local utility company under a rebate program for DC Fast Charging. Should it be awarded, the company can utilize the fund to cover part of the installation costs of its charging stations without negatively impacting ownership. Powering The Future: A Game-Changing Solution For EV Charging Challenges? Getaway Space could be uniquely positioned to transform the EV charging experience by blending high-quality infrastructure with a customer-first approach. As the demand for EVs continues to rise, the industry faces critical gaps in charging accessibility, reliability and convenience. By partnering with established brands like Urth Caffé, engaging former Tesla engineers to ensure near 100% uptime and incorporating on-site comforts and 24/7 security, Getaway offers a robust solution tailored for EV drivers. Interested early investors have a chance to get in on the ground floor of this opportunity. With the EV industry seeking retention and not just conversion, Getaway potentially stands at an exciting juncture. Interested market participants can visit the company’s crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Featured photo by Paul Brennan by Pixabay.

TRON DAO Unveils TRON-Peg USD Coin: A New Gateway to Borderless Transactions

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, November 7, 2024 - TRON DAO has officially launched the TRON-Peg USD Coin on the TRON blockchain, an innovative cross-chain solution designed to streamline borderless transactions and broaden TRON’s stablecoin ecosystem. By facilitating seamless and efficient cross-chain transfers, TRON-Peg USD Coin expands the possibilities for users to leverage USDC across the TRON ecosystem. Efficient Cross-Chain Functionality TRON-Peg USD Coin enables seamless USDC transfers between Ethereum and TRON, serving as an essential stablecoin bridge. Qualified users can easily acquire TRON-Peg USD Coin through a streamlined cross-chain process: when USDC-ERC20 is deposited into Ethereum’s bridge contract, the system detects the transaction, mints an equivalent amount of TRON-Peg USD Coin on TRON, and transfers it directly to the user’s TRON address. Similarly, general users wishing to move TRON-Peg USD Coin back to Ethereum can initiate the process through the designated token contract on TRON. Cross-chain transactions between TRON and Ethereum can also be conducted through supported exchanges. Transparent and Secure with Free Cross-Chain Services TRON-Peg USD Coin offers users free cross-chain transaction services. Additionally, its reserve assets are fully transparent in real-time, ensuring that reserves consistently exceed the total supply. This guarantees that users can always redeem their USDC on Ethereum at a 1:1 ratio. Users can verify reserve assets in real-time. Security remains a top priority, with TRON-Peg USD Coin rigorously audited by ChainSecurity, a leading blockchain security company led by security experts from ETH Zurich. The comprehensive 24-page audit reinforces TRON’s commitment to user security and contract integrity. Ioannis Sachinoglou, lead engineer at ChainSecurity, stated: “This Tron-Peg USD Coin bridge audit allowed us to explore TRON’s cross-chain infrastructure in depth. We analyzed the bridge’s mechanisms, as well as the interactions between the TRON and the Ethereum networks. Collaborating closely with the TRON team, we worked to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, ultimately reinforcing the bridge’s robustness and enhancing user trust. We're looking forward to further collaborating with TRON and supporting the security of their ecosystem.” Shaping the Future of Stablecoin Technology With TRON's position as a major player in the stablecoin market, representing over one-third of the entire stablecoin supply, TRON DAO is committed to continuously refining TRON-Peg USD Coin with enhanced security and user-focused value. These enhancements aim to position TRON-Peg USD Coin as a trusted choice for secure, seamless transactions, empowering users worldwide. About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.

Minority Developers Secure Nearly $9M in Funding for Sycamore Grove Project in Historic Petersburg, Virginia

Cober Johnson and Romney

The Virginia Development Consortium (VDC), in collaboration with the Mayor of Petersburg, Sam Parham, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, celebrated the groundbreaking of Sycamore Grove, a transformative mixed-use development in historic Petersburg, Virginia. The city and state have approved nearly $9 million in funding for VDC, marking a significant milestone in the revitalization of one of the nation’s oldest cities. Sycamore Grove will feature a new grocery store, 174 townhomes developed by NVR/Ryan Homes and A&L Home Builders, a minority-owned business, and retail establishments including Bonfire Wings, a Houston-based business, and Loving Hands Childcare, a minority-owned business from Kansas. This development is a direct response to the community’s vision to rejuvenate Petersburg, a predominantly African American city currently ranked the lowest in the Commonwealth of Virginia for health disparities and classified as a food desert. At the groundbreaking on October 30, Governor Youngkin emphasized the importance of this project, stating, “Petersburg matters.” Mayor Parham expressed his enthusiasm for welcoming businesses like Bonfire Wings to the city. The development team is led by Harold Johnson and Nicole Cober, a husband-and-wife duo who have been in business together with Cober Johnson and Romney, a DC-based firm, since 2015. They are renowned for their work on mixed-use projects in emerging communities, such as the $600 million Towne Square at Suitland Federal Center in Maryland. Johnson highlighted their mission, saying, “With public-private partnerships, we don’t just create buildings; we develop blocks that exponentially expand economic growth.” As the next step for Sycamore Grove, the city will convey the property and funding to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to begin construction of the grocery store. Nicole Cober expressed her optimism, stating, “It’s a new day of hope for the people of Petersburg. I’m stopped all the time by people from Petersburg, thanking us for doing what it takes for this project. We want people to be excited and welcome them back to one of the nation’s first cities!” Contact Details BDC Strategy Group Sherelyn Weber media@bdaviscomm.com Company Website https://cjrbuilds.com/
