Trump rallies in vital state of Nevada during heatwave

By talking magic fingers -


 Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, will hold an open-air event in sweltering Las Vegas on Sunday to boost his support in Nevada, a swing state that he previously lost but is now swinging in his favor according to surveys, before November 5th.

On May 30, a New York jury convicted Trump of perjury for concealing a payment made to a pornographic actress on the eve of the 2016 election. As a result, he will now move forward with his first large-scale political gathering.

At a Thursday town hall gathering in Arizona, another critical state, Trump reminded supporters of his promises to combat illegal immigration and blamed his Democratic opponent, Vice President Joe Biden, for border issues.
According to a campaign statement, Biden's speech in Las Vegas would focus on immigration and post-pandemic inflation.

By midmorning, thousands of Trump supporters had gathered in Sunset Park. A breeze and misting stations helped to cool things down, but three supporters were stretchered off.

Alex Maldonado, a 50-year-old father of three, said he was concerned about the heat but wanted to support Trump, whom he plans to vote for again. He accuses Biden of failing to address inflation, the southern border, and crime.
"I tried to give him (Biden) a chance in 2020," said Maldonado, a Navy veteran and Las Vegas casino security guard. "But everything in life has been made harder."

Residents of Las Vegas have experienced days of record-high temperatures as a result of the Southwest's heatwave. The National Weather Service lifted its extreme heat warning on Saturday night, ahead of the event.
In addition to misting equipment, the campaign built cooling stations. Some people who waited outside in the heat for Trump's rally on Thursday were transported to the hospital.

 The Canadian currency fell against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as the greenback rose versus a basket of major currencies and the Bank of Canada repeated its potential rate cuts. After trading between 1.3715 and 1.3763, the loonie fell 0.2% to 1.3750, or 72.73 U.S. cents. "The U.S. dollar has maintained its bid tone since last week's stronger-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report," said Convera Canada ULC senior market analyst Michael Goshko. The U.S. dollar after the Federal Reserve on Wednesday delayed interest rate decreases until December, despite a weaker May producer price inflation report that weighed on Treasury yields. Friday's data revealed the U.S. economy added more jobs than projected in May. The BoC reduced rates last week, becoming the first G7 central bank to do so. On Thursday, at a conference in Ottawa, BoC Deputy Governor Sharon Kozicki reiterated the central bank's message that further cuts would follow if inflation eased, but policy choices wo

   [caption id="attachment_59317" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] image credit: Nvidia[/caption] Nvidia shares will drop to 10% of last week's price for good cause. On the first trading day of today, Nvidia stock is trading at $100 instead of $1,000 after a 10-for-1 stock split. Stock splits lower share prices by giving present holders more shares, making it easier for more investors to buy a stock. Nvidia split like many other tech companies whose shares had soared, so it reined them back and prepared for a new growth phase. Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla all divided stocks in recent years. After Nvidia's share price soared beyond $900 earlier this year, investors speculated about a split. When it was announced late last month, along with a solid earnings report, the stock soared past $1,000. Now that Nvidia has finished this long-awaited procedure, here's what to expect. First, some stock split details. After trading closed on June 7, Nvidia

 Tesla shareholders were ready to approve Elon Musk's $56 billion pay plan, which was considered a vote of confidence in his leadership and an incentive to keep his focus on the electric vehicle company. Musk released a chart on his social media platform X late on Wednesday showing that the resolution and another vote to relocate the company's legal headquarters to Texas were expected to pass by large margins, though shareholders can amend their votes up until the commencement of the annual meeting. A source familiar with the preliminary voting results confirmed that Musk provided an accurate count of the figures. The decision will be made at a meeting at Tesla's headquarters in Texas on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 GMT). "Thanks for your support!" Musk stated. The Tesla CEO may still face a lengthy legal battle to persuade a Delaware judge, who disqualified the package in January, calling it "unfathomable." He may also face new litigation following T
