Other founders include Alex Witkoff and Zach Witkoff, the sons of billionaire real estate developer Steve Witkoff, a longtime friend of the President’s and the current Middle East envoy.

Founding members include White House crypto czar David Sacks, crypto investors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya, the people familiar told CNBC.

In addition to the $500,000 membership fee, the club will charge annual dues, which have yet to be disclosed.

Executive Branch will open sometime in the next month or so at a location in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., those people said."

How Kentucky bourbon went from boom to bust

Tariffs, oversupply and teetotaling Gen-Zs have all contributed to the downfall of one of America's most iconic liquors.

"President Donald Trump's global tariffs have been the final straw. The EU has announced retaliatory tariffs against US goods, including Kentucky bourbon and Californian wine, although implementation has been delayed for six months.

Meanwhile, most provinces in Canada have stopped importing American alcoholic beverages in retaliation. The country accounts for about 10% of Kentucky's $9bn (£6.7bn) whiskey and bourbon business."

You reap what you sow.

Mangoes and diabetes: Indian trials debunk sweet myths

Two Indian trials suggest that controlled mango consumption, instead of carbs, may improve blood sugar in diabetes.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

“A pilot study soon to appear in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and involving 95 participants found that three popular Indian mango varities - Safeda, Dasheri and Langra - produced similar or lower glycemic responses than white bread over two hours of glucose testing. (A glycemic response is how quickly and how much a food raises blood sugar levels after eating.)

Thirty-five adults with type 2 diabetes who replaced their breakfast bread with 250g of mango saw improvements in fasting glucose, haemoglobin A1C test (HbA1c) which measures average blood sugar levels, insulin resistance, weight, waist circumference and HDL cholesterol. These markers are key indicators of diabetes control and overall metabolic health.“

I am positive if you have type 2 diabetes any sugary fruit will be better than fluffy white processed bread. It’s like saying a steak is better than a fried chicken for someone with heart problems.

Chinese woman convicted in UK after 'world's biggest' bitcoin seizure

UK police seized crypto worth over £5bn from Qian Zhimin, who was known as 'the goddess of wealth'.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"Wen, 44, laundered the proceeds from the scam and moved from living above a restaurant to a 'multi-million pound rented house' in north London, said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) earlier this year."

This reinforced my views that London is the playground of the corrupt and criminally wealthy people.

The deadly dose: Inside India's cough syrup obsession

India’s booming cough syrup market faces scrutiny after contaminated syrups kill multiple children.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"But none of this would happen if India, and Indians, could wean themselves off their obsession with cough syrups. For decades, doctors have prescribed them, and patients have taken them, even though most do little good and can potentially do serious harm.

Marketed as quick relief for sore throats and stubborn coughs, these sweet syrups mix sugar, colour and flavouring with a cocktail of antihistamines, decongestants, expectorants.

In theory, each ingredient plays a role: one dries secretions, another loosens phlegm, a third dulls the cough reflex. In practice, evidence of them doing much good is small - most coughs get better on their own in a few days."

Wait till you add codeine to the cough medicine.
