Elon Musk may finally be running out of other people’s money. That’s the upshot of a report on how Tesla is burning so much cash it may run out by the end of the year. This is a company that has raised more than $5 billion from its investors so far, and it is still going to need many billions more—if it can get them. What is more interesting is how Tesla got to the point where it is still bleeding cash, just when it was finally supposed to be making good on its extravagant promises.

Who will we laugh at when the French are gone? A little dated, but still relevant.
French President Emanuel Macron’s three-day visit to Washington started on an awkward note when he kissed an obviously uncomfortable President Donald Trump. The scene was a symbolic reminder that the two leaders do not enjoy an “intense, close relationship” invented by the media. In reality Macron is, both ideologically and temperamentally, the polar opposite of Trump. The latter was admittedly impressed by the welcome he received for the Bastille Day celebration in Paris last year, and Macron has the distinction of being the first foreign leader to come for a state visit to Trump’s Washington, but there is less than meets the eye to their alleged “chemistry.”

If this girl were a Syrian ‘refugee’ or wanted transgender surgery, she’d be at the front of the queue. Maybe if Ontari-owe didn’t pay a billion dollars a month interest on its McWinnty-driven debt, there’d be money to help this girl.

Police in New York say they’ve pulled the body of an assistant U.S. attorney from a river.
For nearly three decades, George Burgasser worked as a federal prosecutor in Buffalo and Washington. Police found his body in the Niagara River Sunday night.
North Tonawanda Detective Capt. Thomas Krantz says the 62-year-old Burgasser was last seen on his son’s boat showing it to a group of friends.
Some news reports listed Burgasser as retired from the Justice Department but his Linkedin page noted he still worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Burgasser was part of the DOJ’s original team to fight online child pornography and child exploitation, dating to the early 1990s. He was acting chief of the Justice Department’s child exploitation and obscenity section.
