WINNING! Apple to Invest $500 Billion in U.S. After Trump Meeting With CEO Tim Cook — Will Add 20,000 Jobs Over Next Four Years

Tim Cook / Apple Keynote
Apple is betting on the continued strength of the U.S. economy under Donald Trump.
Following a meeting between Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was also in attendance at his inauguration last month, the technology giant has confirmed it will invest a staggering $500 billion in the U.S. and add 20,000 jobs over the next four years.
Bloomberg provides the details:
The company said Monday that it plans to spend $500 billion domestically over the next four years, which will include work on a new server manufacturing facility in Houston, a supplier academy in Michigan and additional spending with its existing suppliers in the country.
The disclosure comes days after Trump and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook met in the Oval Office.
“He’s investing hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said after the meeting last week. He implied that the iPhone maker is investing locally because it does not want to pay tariffs.
Trump has threatened an additional 10% tax on items imported from China, where Apple builds the vast majority of iPhones and other products. But he has traded investment in the US for relief in the past.
The $500 billion investment and 20,000 new jobs over the next four years mark Apple’s biggest US commitment to date.
In a statement, Tim Cook said he was “bullish” about the future of American innovation.
“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing US investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” Cook said in a statement.
“We’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”

Apple and Foxconn will begin producing Private Cloud Compute servers in Houston this year, shifting some cloud infrastructure manufacturing from overseas. A 250,000-square-foot facility for server production is set to open in the city next year.
Apple is also expanding data center capacity in Arizona, Oregon, Iowa, Nevada, and North Carolina, reinforcing its U.S. infrastructure.
While M-series chips powering these servers are still produced in Taiwan, Apple confirmed that mass production of chips began last month at TSMC’s Arizona plant, supplying components for Apple Watches and iPads.
The move is a big win for Trump, who has long pressured companies such as Apple into bring manufacturing back to America, using tariffs and economic incentives to encourage them to produce more domestically.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.
A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.
Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.
She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.
The New York Post reports:
BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle
A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.
The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.
Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.
But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.
Just amazing.
Monica Cannon-Grant stole from donors, scammed the government, and lived it up while preaching about oppression. BLM grift is the only nonprofit where fraud is part of the mission statement. https://t.co/ir3q9lqYrh

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’
Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.
RedState has an update:
To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”
This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.
Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:
See Olbermann’s tweet below:
I apologize without reservation to @ScottJenningsKY
Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant. pic.twitter.com/SPWLb73nEk

I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All times are the wrong time to leave even an inadvertent impression of it – but this time is especially wrong
I should've acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I'm sorry I delayed.

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:
SCOTT JENNINGS: “Marking myself SAFE from that NUT, Keith Olbermann!” pic.twitter.com/EYZX6vm5Oh

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs
Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.
The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.
Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.
Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child
Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.
Read the text exchange here:

Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson texts with transgender lover Lance Twiggs / 2
Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.
“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”
The Daily Mail reported:
The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.
Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.
Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’
His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.
Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
