Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland and Miss Europe contestant, has detailed her alleged 1993 sexual assault by Donald Trump, claiming he threatened her with “bad things can happen if you speak out” afterward. Keul has faced subsequent threats to her safety since coming forward, but maintains she will not be silenced, stating her purpose is to “save lives.” Her account, which includes alleged unwanted touching and a forceful encounter in a hotel suite, aligns with broader accusations of sexual misconduct against Trump from numerous women, including a jury’s finding of sexual abuse against E. Jean Carroll. Despite Trump’s denials of all allegations and assertions of never having met some accusers, Keul believes more survivors will share their stories.

A new lawsuit has surfaced, leveling a deeply disturbing accusation against Sean “Diddy” Combs: that he sexually assaulted a child actor. This latest legal filing, brought forth in California, paints a grim picture of an alleged incident occurring in May of 2007 during a Hollywood Hills networking event.

It seems the S&P has decided to stick to its established rules regarding index inclusion, and that means SpaceX won’t be making an early appearance in the benchmark US index. This is pretty significant because the S&P 500 is a major benchmark for many investment funds, and inclusion often leads to a surge in demand for a company’s stock. The primary sticking point, as reaffirmed by the S&P, is profitability. To be part of the S&P 500, a company needs to demonstrate consistent profitability, not just in its most recent quarter but over the past four quarters as well.
This rule is quite standard and has been in place for a long time, so the S&P’s decision to uphold it rather than create special exceptions for a single, high-profile company like SpaceX is being met with a sigh of relief by many.… Continue reading
