[Page Six] Grifters will as grifters do. But hey? She's already declared Nigerian genes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charity foundation has been declared delinquent and ordered to stop raising or spending money, Page Six can reveal.
The royal duo have let the official registration fees for their charity, Archewell, lapse since at least the beginning of May, according to an official letter from California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta.
The document states that Archewell has been listed as “delinquent” with the registry of charities and fundraisers for failing to submit its annual report and its registration fees.
Archewell now has to submit records to show why its payment is late, and pay late fees.

In Mass., you have to file a copy of your Form 990 (the annual Federal tax return for non-profits) with a state version of the same form with the AG's office. If CA has a similar structure that tells me their 990 was never filed, and their foundation is either poorly organized or complete bullshit.

"43% Nigerian" and a "lost check", I read that the participants of the Invictus Games:"...Meghan Markle need to stay away from all things Invictus? That’s what some seem to suggest. One source close to the situation even put it this way, About 2,000 ex-military have left the Games. As they say it’s lost its original meaning. There are some former veterans who would like Harry to step down.” Seems the Duchess is a bit of a self-centered distraction ...this stuff just writes itself.
[Washington Examiner] Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker criticized President Joe Biden during a commencement speech at Benedictine College on Saturday.
Butker, an outspoken and devout Catholic, slammed Biden for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as cultural issues such as abortion and radical gender ideology. He blasted the president as someone who supports the "murder of innocent babies" during his speech.
While addressing graduates at the Catholic liberal arts college in Atchinson, Kansas, the NFL kicker blamed Biden for what the Super Bowl champion believed was a deterioration of societal values. He began his speech by addressing the adversity this year’s graduates faced, given they were high school seniors four years ago during the COVID pandemic.
"By making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lesson that suffering in this life is only temporary," Butker said. "As a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society."
[NYPOST] Princess Meghan Markle ...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too good for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage... has referred to Nigeria as "my country" as she opened up about her background during an engagement over the weekend.
On Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex co-hosted a Women in Leadership event with NgoziOkonjo-Iweala, director general of the World Trade Organization.
During the talk, the mom of two said that it has been "eye-opening" and "humbling" to learn more about her heritage during her and Prince Harry ’s three-day trip.
"I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you’ve all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country ... my country," Markle, 42, said at the event.
"I am just flattered and honored and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived."
"And I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more color, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion," she added.
The "Suits" alum opened up about what it has been like to delve into her background.
"Never in a million years would I understand it as much as I do now," she told the audience.
"And what has been echoed so much in the past day is, ’Oh, we are not so surprised when we found out you are Nigerian.’ "
"It is a compliment to you, because what they define as a Nigerian woman is brave, resilient, courageous, beautiful," the former actress added.
At one point, the audience was asked to come up with a Nigerian name for Markle.
One person suggested "Ifeoma" — a name from the Igbo tribe which means "a treasured thing."
Another said "Omowale" — a name originating from the Yoruba tribe which means "the child has come home."
On Sunday, the couple traveled from the capital city of Abuja to Lagos and were greeted by the state governor, local dancers and well-wishers on their final day.
"Today is Mother’s Day [in America]. So it feels appropriate that although, of course, we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family," Markle said.
In 2022, Markle told her "Archetypes" podcast listeners that she had recently discovered she was "43% Nigerian" after completing an ancestry test.
And at the opening ceremony of last year’s Invictus Games in Germany, Harry made reference to his wife’s heritage.

You almost have to admire her complete and utter lack of shame. Almost.
[TOLONEWS] The number of victims from the recent floods in the country has nearly reached 180, doctors said, as cited by Mullah Baradar, who visited the disaster-stricken province of Baghlan.
Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!... on the fourth day of the flooding in Baghlan province, affected families called for immediate aid.
They said that they lack shelter, food supplies, and clean drinking water, and are living in heartbreaking conditions.
Mohammad Alam, 50, who lost six family members in the Friday floods in the Darwazakan area of central Baghlan, said: "I have lost two of my sister-in-laws, my wife, two daughters—one six years old and the other thirteen—and a nephew."
Another group of affected individuals who have lost their possessions are also demanding urgent help from the authorities.
"We need clean water and tents. The foreign aid that has been promised needs to be delivered," said Arbab Gulzada, a flood victim in Baghlan.
"Our request from the Islamic Emirate is to deliver aid to the people affected in Baghlan, especially central Baghlan," said Haqbin Moradi, a flood victim in Baghlan.
At the same time, Alam Majidi, the spokesperson for the governor of Baghlan, said that the process of distributing initial aid from the government and aid organizations to the flood victims is ongoing, and more aid will be distributed to them after assessments are completed.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, deputy prime minister for economic affairs, who visited the flood-affected areas, said: "They told us the number of casualties is 154 deaders, but doctors have reported up to 170 people."
According to official statistics provided by the authorities in the caretaker government, the corpse count in Baghlan province so far reached nearly 180, and the search and rescue operations are still ongoing.

[NEWARAB] Libyan authorities have arrested several customs officials for attempting to traffic abroad about 26 tonnes of gold worth almost 1.8 billion euros ($1.9 billion), prosecutors said. Bits and pieces all over the place.
The Libyan prosecutor's office did not detail the suspected origin of the massive amount of precious metal, greater than the national gold reserves of many countries.
Authorities in Misrata, western Libya, made the arrests related to the trafficking operation at the port city's international airport, the office said Sunday night.
"The investigating authorities ordered the arrest of the director general of customs and customs officials at the international airport of Misrata," it said in a statement released on Facebook.
The officials had attempted in December 2023 to traffic the gold bars weighing some 25,875 kilograms, currently worth almost 1.8 billion euros, the statement said.

Gold from the Sudan's Darfur goldfields? 35 tons is a lot of gold.
[MAIL] Red Lobster staff across the country are up in arms after the seafood restaurant shuttered more than 50 outlets across with no warning, leaving them jobless with no notice.
The chain has 'temporarily closed' locations in Buffalo, Orlando, Jacksonville and other cities, and is auctioning off kitchen equipment and furniture, according to CNN.
The brand is reportedly eyeing up a possible Chapter 11 filing to restructure its debt, allowing it to discard long-term contracts and renegotiate new leases.
But it has also left its workers in a scramble to find employment, with many Red Lobster staff claiming they were laid off with no warning.
One Tiktokker posted a stitched video that started with her talking through her day working at Red Lobster on Mother's Day, before she complained about being laid off.

What killed the company was when the new owner sold all the real estate, and then made the stores lease their locations back. Death spiral from there.

California workers are demanding $25 minimum wage.
If they raise the minimum wage to $100, then people will only need to work 1/4 as many hours which means employers will need to hire 4 times as many people. More money, more free time, and more jobs! Increased prosperity for everyone!
Unless, of course, they start replacing workers with robots who only need a smoke break when they are actually on fire.

Look for those in danger of being automated out of their jobs to form a union. They will get laws passed requiring two warm bodies at $100/hr for each robot.
For starters...

They haven't been good for years, and lousy corporate management hasn't done 'em any favors. Everything there just tastes like fish flavored grease.
Which explains auctioning off the kitchen equipment.

[MAIL] Walmart is cutting hundreds of corporate jobs and is asking most of its remote workers to get back to the office, after it slashed thousands of warehouse jobs across the country.
Though remote workers will be allowed to work from home part-time, the retail monolith is also asking workers in small offices in Dallas, Atlanta and Toronto to begin working from more central hubs, as part of a move to cut costs, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Walmart's stock price wobbled slightly yesterday, peaking at 61.30 points, before falling to 60.29 points. But Walmart's stock price is close to it's all time high.
The news comes after the US' largest employer announced it would be laying off 2,000 warehouse employees who pack online orders, and would be working to have 65% of its stores automated by 2026.
'As the changes are implemented across the business, one of the outcomes is roles that require less physical labor but have a higher rate of pay,' the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer said in a filing last year.
[Gateway] Brilliant scholar and former Trump attorney John Eastman, traveled to Michigan on Friday night.
Attorney Eastman delivered a powerful speech on lawfare and how it’s being used against President Trump and his supporters. Mr. Eastman addressed a large crowd in Lansing, Michigan, at an event that was hosted by Michigan’s top election integrity group, MI Fair Elections, which was created by the incredible author and patriot extraordinaire Patrice Johnson.
John Eastman described the election fraud in 2020 in great detail during his speech.
The Biden regime and deep state players DO NOT want you to know this.
Enjoy!
Attorney John Eastman: Thank you all so much. I start this story when I get a call from the White House switchboard. I thought they were joking. I thought it was a buddy of mine saying, the White of the President is on the line. Can you take a call? I said, Steve, what are you doing? I did a hop-up on the phone. And the President said, “I’d like you to represent me. We’re trying to get an action before the Supreme Court of the United States.”
That normally is something that would be considered the catch stone of one’s career. My daughter thought so. She took the brief we filed in the Supreme Court, my motion to intervene on behalf of the President in the Texas versus Pennsylvania case. She had it framed and gave it to me for Christmas that year. It still adorns my office at home.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, as the old guy says, because apparently, in 21st-century America, you’re not supposed to challenge the status quo. You’re not supposed to challenge what government tells you. No matter how blatantly false it manifestly is. When they said masks should be worn or masks shouldn’t be worn, we’re supposed to act like they didn’t change their mind. And then it was equally the same when they said it’s okay to have 50-year-old men showing up naked in your daughter’s showers. We’re supposed to just say, Well, this is the government, they said this is okay. Or competing against your daughters in the swim meet. What’s she going to do when she grows up and wants to get a scholarship swimming or running track and she’s competing against the man? It’s not fair. It’s not American, and we need to stand up against it.
