Yes, Macau casino mogul Adelson.
Actually apparently he's transferred most of his wealth to his younger wife, and purportedly she calls most of the shots.

Yeah, the sale was reported earlier.  But back in August the Trump Admin said a deal would be concluded in the next couple of months, when it had already been sold in July.  However, the buyer hadn't been disclosed.  Since it was clearly overtly political and sketchy.  Bibi owes much of his long 2nd act in Israeli politics to Adelson.  Bibi and Trump both intertwined with Adelson.

Fwiw, I went into Adelson's Macau casino once a few decades back.  There were what looked like 15 year old prostitutes blatantly operating with the casino.  Running a casino in Macau was a real shady gold mine back then, before the big int'l casino players moved in and the Chinese gov't took over.  It used to be that CH gov't officials would go there and gamble with either gov't money or hugely corrupt wealth they had skimmed, until they learned Beijing was given access to all cctv footage.  A few major jail sentences later, they shifted their gambling to more distant, discreet locales.

30% of student athletes who'd tested positive for COVID-19 at Ohio State have COVID-19 related heart damage.

Yeah, college sports!

Let's go!

Thanks for the edits, Kid. You're still missing the point, though.

And rounding the corner, we have US Rep-Elect Luke Letlow (R-LA), age 41, who just died of COVID-19.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/29/politics/luke-letlow-died-covid/index.html&bt_ts=1609298864098?fbclid=IwAR1jhuiY-Oqdk1W0RVGTTO_33wRprQR8-drj_Ifsmv0pxzypWcPoWIl_PWQ

"Letlow, 41, had announced his diagnosis on his Facebook page on December 18, writing that he was "at home resting, following all CDC guidelines, quarantine protocols, and the recommendations of my doctors."
Days later, Letlow posted that he was undergoing treatment at St. Francis Hospital in Monroe before a statement from his office on December 23 said he had been transferred to Ochsner LSU Heath Shreveport Academic Medical Center."

I gather he was well liked and respected and won by a substantial margin. I am sorry for their loss.

Mmmmm
30 per cent of 26 affected athletes = 7.8 athletes 
That headline might be just a trifle misleading since Ohio State has 1100 athletes .
But it comes from Josh.
As you were.

From WaPo:
Quote
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has retained forensic accounting specialists to aid its criminal investigation of President Trump and his business operations, as prosecutors ramp up their scrutiny of his company's real estate transactions, according to people familiar with the matter.
...
Vance has contracted with FTI Consulting to look for anomalies among a variety of property deals, and to advise the district attorney on whether the president’s company manipulated the value of certain assets to obtain favorable interest rates and tax breaks, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter remains highly sensitive. The probe is believed to encompass transactions spanning several years.

Speaking of which:

Up to 10 times as many folks in Wuhan may have had COVID-19 than official numbers suggest.

Not misleading, asshole. They did a study.

You're the one who spent all year promoting a poll of a few hundred people as representative of the nation. This was more representative than those polls were.

And it isn't the first.

Versus the claim that only 1% suffered any harm from the virus, right, Kid?

Remember that crap you and your president were peddling?!
