Fox News: Dem expert puts KJP, Bates on notice, says officials who keep breaking Hatch Act 'should be gone'
Former ethics chief for President George W. Bush, Richard Painter, has said that White House officials continuing to use the "MAGA" slogan against Republicans "should be fired" after the White House persisted in using it following the Office of Special Counsel's determination that it violates the Hatch Act. Painter called for officials to "immediately stop doing it," while claiming "we can't have them flipping the bird at this." White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates sent a memo on Wednesday continuing to use the term, despite press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre being told doing so violated the law.
The White House is being accused of violating the Hatch Act by continuing to use the 'MAGA' slogan despite a determination that it violates legislation forbidding government resources being used for campaign activities.

The Office of Special Counsel determined earlier this week that Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act by using the term "Maga MAGA" to attack Republican policies. Meanwhile, Bates claimed in a memo that the "main economic agenda item" of Republicans is "MAGA tax welfare for the richest Americans and giant corporations."

The Epoch Times: House Committee Approves Bill Requiring Federally Registered Companies Disclose Ultimate Beneficial Owners
The Canadian government has approved a new law designed to fight money laundering and terrorist financing by requiring federally registered companies to disclose their ownership structure. The public registry would list the names and addresses of those with “significant control” over the companies, although its potential impact has been questioned. Critics argued the scheme, which would affect only the small percentage of companies that are federally registered, would be of limited value without taking a broader approach across other provinces. Currently, federally registered companies make up less than 15% of all Canadian incorporations.

The Epoch Times: How to Tell When Your Roof Needs Replacing
Homeowners tend to overlook the importance of their roof, putting off repairs until damage is significant.

Breitbart: China Disappears Late 2022 Cremation Data, Obscuring Coronavirus Death Info
China failed to release data on cremations from the last quarter of 2022, suggesting a surge in COVID-19 deaths following the end of lockdowns.

Several provincial-level regions failed to disclose the number of cremations in public releases, and Beijing ordered some regions to stop publishing all civil affairs data indefinitely. Workers at funeral homes and crematoria faced a significant increase in demand for their services, leading to a backlog of human remains. A worker at a crematorium reportedly said, "It doesn’t matter how many furnaces there are; there is a lot of business, and we are running them 24 hours, with cremations going on through the night.”
