Forbes: Musk Praises Tim Scott’s Presidential Campaign Message, Prompting Speculation: Who Will He Back?
Elon Musk tweeted a promotional video for Republican Senator Tim Scott hours after he filed papers for his presidential campaign. Scott acknowledged Musk's support and invited him to a campaign event. Musk, who backed Democratic candidates in the past, has been increasingly supportive of Republicans. He tweeted last year that he would endorse Republican candidates and last November hinted he would support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Former President Donald Trump attacked Musk in a series of posts on Truth Social last year, while Musk has criticized Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The Epoch Times: 'Journey of Hope': Couple Takes Lady Liberty Statue of Hong Kong on Cross-Canada Honeymoon Trip
Parkie Li and his wife, Angel, took their honeymoon trip across Canada to raise awareness of the situation in Hong Kong. They showcased a replica of the Lady Liberty Statue of Hong Kong in many cities across Canada. During their “journey of hope,” they aimed to connect with local Hong Kong communities and those who had to flee their homes after the Chinese regime clamped down on the autonomy of the former British colony. The couple organized protests outside Chinese consulates to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s threat and interference on Canadian soil. ( )
The Hong Kong anti-extradition protests led to massive protests between the years of 2019 and 2020. The Chinese government stifled peaceful assembly and imprisoned protesters. During their trip, Parkie and Angel Li brought together diaspora groups to call for the release of pro-democracy activists arbitrarily detained in China. The couple's Lady Liberty Statue of Hong Kong was exhibited in various locations, including outside the Chinese Consulate in Toronto for a memorial ceremony honouring the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, 1989. The couple believes speaking up for freedom and democracy has always been a Canadian value and paying attention to the situation in Hong Kong is in the best interests of Canadians. ( )

Fox News: Why do men dominate on 'Jeopardy!'?
Women's lower success rate on "Jeopardy!" raises questions about gender differences in intelligence and risk tolerance. Studies show that men tend to wager more aggressively on Daily Double questions, a trait associated with higher risk tolerance, which may be socially conditioned or biologically determined by higher testosterone levels. However, as with many areas of gender disparity, motherhood plays a significant role in shaping women's cognitive abilities, particularly in verbal recall, and can disadvantage them when competing on trivia shows. Rather than seek female-only leagues or affirmative action for "Jeopardy!" contestants, society must become more comfortable with gender differences and stop assuming that lack of gender parity indicates one sex's superiority over the other.

The Epoch Times: Truckers Face Bad Business Environment and Experts See It Getting Worse
Trucking industry faces a tough business environment with deteriorating freight demand and plummeting per-mile rates due to sluggish economy and pandemic-era boom, leading to higher operating costs and putting pressure on the sector. The trucking industry covers 2/3 of tonnage carried by US freight transportation, making it a bellwether for the broader economy, and could signal a recession worse than 2008 to 2009 or even 2019, with the New York Fed's Recession Probabilities model currently putting the odds of a downturn before April 2024 at about 68%. The trucking industry becomes volatile due to the low barriers to employment, and smaller operators ramping up capacity when carrier rates start to rise, creating an overbuild of capacity that worsens the situation in downcycles.

The Blaze: Eric Adams' plan to combat rampant retail theft in New York City laughed at by critics: 'This is beyond parody'
NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced a comprehensive plan to combat retail theft, including installing kiosks in stores to offer services to thieves. The plan was ridiculed on Twitter as unrealistic and dangerous. Crime statistics show that retail theft complaints have increased by 77% in NYC from 2018 to 2022. The plan intends to allow non-violent offenders to avoid prosecution and focus on underlying factors that lead to shoplifting. The government will ask retailers to send their employees to training for de-escalation tactics and security best practices to help keep them safe. It also proposes creating a retail watch program for businesses in close proximity to one another to share intelligence with law enforcement in the event of a robbery. Resource kiosks will be installed in stores to link individuals in need to critical government resources and social services.

Forbes: Dickies Arena Ideal Design For Dirt-Loving PBR World Finals
The PBR World Finals will be held at the new Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The arena was designed with rodeo and bull riding in mind and has ample space for truck movement, making it easy to load in the 1,200 tons of red Texas dirt needed for the event. The red dirt of Fort Worth has a unique hue and is a mix of 70% sand and 30% clay, making it ideal for bull riding. The dirt is compacted and groomed before the event and crews keep it hydrated throughout to ensure proper footing for the bulls. The venue's proximity to the bull housing and the fact that many of the bulls don't have to travel far make it ideal for the sport.
