I am excited to announcethat headlining day two of this yearsWomen, Influence & Power in Lawconference will be tennis champion and New York Times best-selling author Venus Williams!

With seven Grand Slam titles, including five Wimbledon championships, and four Olympic gold medals,Venus is one of the most accomplished and inspiring women in the history of sports.

Beyond her accomplishments on the court, Venushas also been a steadfast advocate for equality throughout her career.

In 2006, UNESCO, the United Nations cultural organization, titled her as the first Promoter of Gender Equality. In 2007, it was her unwavering fight which led Wimbledon to award women players the same pay as their male counterparts.

Mostrecently, she launched an awareness initiative called the #PrivilegeTax to bring attention to wage inequality and unveiled a platform of resources for young women to get inspired and address the issue on a grassroots level.

Register today to be part of this intimate conversation with Venus as she shares her journey of resilience, determination and the importance of celebrating individuality. Whether its overcoming self-doubt or providing tools to navigate a male-dominated industry, Venus unique insights will sure to inspire our WIPL community to not only discover that inner champion but unleash its full potential!

We are also excited that this yearsWIPL conferencewill be held in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place.

I hope to see you there!

Ann Coulter: How Trump Will Lose the Debate - Northwest Georgia News

Failed 2024 Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy praised Ann Coulter for having the guts to make racist remarks directly to his face on his podcast this week.

Ms Coulter, a conservative firebrand with a history of openly racist remarks, appeared on the businessmans podcast, Truth, on Wednesday for an episode titled, The N Word: Nationalism.

Mr Ramaswamy welcomed Ms Coulter by telling her that he is a fan.

She replied that he is bright and articulate and notes that she wouldnt be allowed to say that to him, if he was an American Black.

She goes on to say that, even though she agreed with him more than most other GOP primary candidates, she would not have voted for him to be president because he is Indian.

She said: I agreed with many, many things you said during your campaign, in fact probably more than most other candidates when you were running for president. But I still would not have voted for you because youre an Indian.

She then claimed that the core national identity in the United States is a WASP - a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

[That] doesnt mean we cant take anyone else ina Sri Lankan, a Japanese, or an Indianbut the core around which the nations values are formed is the WASP, she continued.

Mr Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indian immigrant parents and is an American citizen. He would not have been eligible to run for president if he was not born in America.

Additionally, the Constitution of India does not permit holding of dual nationality by Indian nationals.

Mr Ramaswamy did not balk at Ms Coulters remarks, and the pair discussed their shared disdain of dual citizenship.

He pushed back on Ms Coulters idea that Americans whose families have been in the US for centuries were more American.

He argued that the children of immigrants could be more loyal to the US than a WASP, seventh generation descendent of some rich guy on the Upper East Side in Brooklyn that pretends to hate this country because its the cool thing to do.

Following the podcast, Mr Ramaswamy posted on X that he agreed with Ms Coulter on dual citizenship but disagreed with her reasoning on why she wouldnt vote for him. However he added that he admired her guts for telling him.

Ann Coulter told me flat-out to my face that she couldnt vote for me because youre an Indian, even though she agreed with me more than most other candidates, he wrote. I disagree with her but respect she had the guts to speak her mind. It was a riveting hour.

Congressman Ted Lieu, whose family immigrated to the US from Taiwan, said that he wasnt surprised by Ms Coulters racism but expressed sympathy for Mr Ramaswamys response.

I wasnt surprised that Ann Coulter made a racist statement about Vivek, he posted on X. What surprised me is the weakness and lack of self respect of @VivekGRamaswamy. Hes actually promoting this episode and praising the person who spewed raw racism to his face. I feel sorry for Vivek.

Bill Maher has defended his choice to invite previous controversial guests, including Ann Coulter, onto his long-running talk series.

Over the course of his twenty season self-hosted show, Real Time with Bill Maher, the 66-year-old comedian-turned-political commentator has featured a slew of provocative guests.

In 2019, Maher was booed by audience members after he announced conservative media pundit, Coulter, was going to join him the following week.

Shes a hard right-winger, Maher acknowledged in a new interview with Variety.

However, a lot of the country likes Ann Coulter and listens to her, and shes not stupid, he defended.

I dont exactly read her books. But I know from when weve covered her issues in the past, its not like she doesnt do research.

Maher continued: Sometimes people say to me, Is she just saying something to be provocative? I dont think she is. I think you need to hear from all voices.

There are certainly people I would not bring on [the show]. I wouldnt have on someone from the Ku Klux Klan or a Nazi or something like that, he said.

When further asked where he draws the line when deciding who to have on his show, he explained that its a case-by-case basis.

I dont know. Sometimes people change. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, Maher added: And if you dont like these people, just understand sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Real Time with Bill Maher premieres on Fridays at 10pm ET on HBO Max in the US.

Bill Maher defends inviting 'hard right-winger' Ann Coulter on his talk show: 'She's not stupid' - Yahoo Singapore News

The first debate of the presidential election cycle had barely started when the pundits of X/Twitter were at it on the keyboard. They had plenty of material to work with, as President Joe Biden fumbled, mumbled, and was mostly incoherent.

The debate was hosted by CNN in Atlanta and there was no studio audience. Pollsters reported that 70% or more of the audience for the debate were Trump supporters, while Biden voters generally chose not to watch.

Here were some of the best lines from the X pundits as the spectacle unfurled on CNN:

Jesse Kelly: We all thought Joe Biden was a Camp David resting but clearly he spent the last week in Vegas with Charlie Sheen.

Rick Whitbeck: Our Commander in Chief. They totally screwed up his meds tonight

Jeremy Boreing: So Its Michelle, right?

Bill Ackman: I have to say this is embarrassing not just for @POTUS Biden but also for our country.

Ann Coulter: Even CNN cant save Biden from this performance.

Charlie Kirk: Gavin Newsom is skyrocketing on PredictIt right now.

Greg Gutfeld: Holy sh*t.

Tim Murtaugh: Any media want to take a stab at calling Bidens performance a cheap fake this time?

Jesse Kelly: This might be it for Joe. Man. This is brutal.

Matt Makowiak: Senior Dem lobbyist to me just now: There are going to be multiple members of congress that come out tomorrow and say Biden needs to step aside. For the good of the country.

Scott Adams: Ive never see Biden worse. Bad time to find his bottom.

Charles C Cook: Robert Hur deserves an apology.

Russell Brand: Were 17 minutes in, and Joe Biden is discussing the problem of people being raped by their brothers and sisters, which is quite an extraordinary yet niche topic to discuss.

Sarah Isgur: Forget the election, this is heading into 25th amendment territory.

Kayleigh McEnany: How in the world did 16 people sit at Camp David with Biden for a week and think this was a good idea? Political malpractice.

Ann Coulter: CNN moderators are surprisingly great. Not wildly unfair, as I expected. Good questions. LOVE the mic cut, LOVE no audience.

Michael Steele: This is painful. Trump full of sh!t and Biden cant find his.

Tim Murtaugh: This is as bad a blowout as any debate Ive ever seen. The first 30 minutes are key for catching the most viewers and Biden has just been a muttering ghost of his former self. Its really, really bad. Trump is calm, firm, and in command. The contrast is undeniable.

BIDEN: *rambles incoherently about his failure to secure the border*

TRUMP: I really dont know what he said at the end of that sentence. I dont think he knows what he said either.

Amy Walter: Odds of a September 10 debate are close to zero about now.

Matt Walsh: That was it. The debate is over. Biden cant even finish his sentence. Trails off into nonsense. Never seen a presidential candidate freeze like that. A moment that will be remembered forever. And its only going to get worse for Biden from here.

A United States judge has declined to dismiss several claims brought against crypto exchange Binance by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The case was filed in June 2023 by the SEC chairman Gary Gensler who accused Binance of offering securities without registering them and operating in the United States without authorization.

In a June 28 court filing, Judge Jacksons decision allowed some claims to proceed to trial while dismissing others. Jackson permitted the SEC to continue with claims related to Binances BNB staking program, anti-fraud violations, and the sale of BNB coins following its ICO.

The SEC also proved its allegations that Changpeng CZ Zhao, the founder of Binance, was a control person and the allegations that Binance should have registered under the Exchange Act.

However, Judge Jackson dismissed the allegations related to the secondary market sale of Binances BNB tokens, relying on a similar decision of the SEC in the Ripple case. She also dismissed suggestions concerning the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin and the exchanges Simple Earn passive income tool.

The decision is a major step in the legal battle over the status of virtual property. This is in line with the previous judicial decisions that have emphasized the need to appreciate the economic aspect of token sales under the Howey Test.

Nevertheless, Binance has faced legal problems and is still the biggest exchange for cryptocurrencies with more than 200 million users and assets of over $100 billion. The case remains in the limelight as it moves through the legal process with a court session set for July 9th.

This ruling by Jackson is somewhat favorable for Binance and the SEC at the same time, which has implications for the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United States.

Big shakeup on Binance!

The worlds leading crypto exchange just announced plans to delist various prominent cryptocurrencies from its platform. From June 28, 3:00 UTC onwards, trading pairs like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Chainlink (LINK), Memecoin (MEME), Blur, Metis, NFPrompt (NFP), and Osmosis (OSMO) will no longer be supported.

This decision forms part of Binances ongoing review process aimed at enhancing trading quality. Concerns over liquidity and trading volume prompted this proactive step to streamline operations.

The announcement has sparked immediate reactions across the crypto community and broader financial markets. Prices of the affected cryptocurrencies experienced initial volatility as traders swiftly adjusted their positions in response to Binances decision.

Investors are now grappling with macroeconomic pressures and forthcoming market events, prompting a reassessment of their investment strategies amid the uncertainty created by the delisting.

In response to the delisting, Binance has also discontinued its Spot Trading Bot services for the affected pairs, effective immediately post-delisting. This proactive measure underscores Binances commitment to upholding operational integrity and safeguarding user interests amidst evolving market conditions.

Market participants are advised to closely monitor developments and adapt their investment strategies accordingly. While the immediate impact on prices is evident, the long-term outlook for cryptocurrencies such as SHIB and LINK remains intertwined with broader market dynamics and investor sentiment.

Do you think Binance made the right call?

Those found to violate the BinancesTerms of Useand KYC/KYB policies are likely to face account suspension or termination.

Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced new measures to boost security and integrity on its platform. The exchange takes this step to mitigate account misuse and ensure compliance with Binance standards and established regulatory framework. Markedly, the decision reflects the trading platforms commitment and proactive approach towards ensuring users safety.

The new development will help the exchange to spot potential vulnerabilities on its platform and address them before they transition into major loopholes.

Ordinarily, Binance delivers sub-accounts, managed sub-accounts, fund manager accounts, and other account types. These are all geared towards catering to legal businesses. In the long run, it was discovered that many bad actors were misusing these features for their selfish gains.

Precisely, Binance decided to adopt this approach after discovering instances where users seek to gain unfair advantages by exploiting certain account types. Some of these advantages are better fee rates and higher API limits. In addition to this enhanced monitoring system, Binance says it will investigate suspected incidents and may even take action against such persons.

Those found to violate the BinancesTerms of Useand KYC/KYB policies are likely to face account suspension or termination.

A reward program has also been introduced for users who report cases of verified account misuse. To this end, the exchange has set up a dedicated email address through which users can submit their findings. There is no fixed reward amount as it would be on a case-by-case basis.

This reward program could spur users to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity.

In another Binance news, the crypto exchange recently wrote a letter to its users, informing them of its integration of the industrys largest stablecoin Tether (USDT) on The Open Network (TON). This means that users can now perform USDT deposit and withdrawal transactions on TON. It is a significant move towards offering users a large suite of options and flexibility in conducting their transactions.

Meanwhile, the exchange is still pursuing its Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubais Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). On Wednesday, Binance announced an account transition procedure for residents in the UAE. This will enable them to shift from the Binance global exchange to the Binance FZE exchange.

This encompasses the migration of users accounts from the Binance global exchange to the FZE exchange.

Users are required to complete and update the KYC verification requested via email to be eligible for the transition. They have until December 15, 2024, to complete the process and submit it. This is also part of Binances approach to ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks and requirements, this time, in the UAE.

It is also a means for the exchange to expand its product reach and strengthen its presence across several borders.
