The one Trump hosted events for at his golf properties?

On January 13th court filings revealed the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, headed by Muhammad bin Salman, owns 93 percent of LIV and pays 100 percent of the costs associated with the events.

So not only has SA given Jared Kushner a shit ton of money for his new post WH business, they’re funneling money into poppa Trumps retirement slush fund.

Maybe Trump keeps whining about Hunter Biden being owned by China to distract from who owns him.

Jared also closed a recent deal with Qatar that saved a NYC property from default. So much influence peddling.

But we need to focus on the real threat - Hunter!!

Did you know he stayed at his dad’s house when there were some classified documents in a room off the garage?? No doubt he gave them to the Chinese. 🙄

Except for the one he rolled into a tube to do a few lines.

OMG, how quickly we forget! The actual target is HRC with her emails and BENGHAZI! Hunter Biden and his computer are only an interlude, to get the illegitimate president out of the WH. 

All those report on millions in slush funds and stolen documents are just distractions designed to keep the non-believers (aka non-Qanon followers) distracted. We'll get back to the real problem right after we fix this stolen election sh*t.

PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed LIV Golf

The PGA Tour on Tuesday announced that it was merging with LIV Golf, the Saudi-funded breakaway league that had roiled professional golf by luring some of the game’s best players with hefty paychecks, a lighter schedule and less-competitive tournaments.

The stunning announcement came after months of pointed rhetoric and hard feelings, and amid ongoing litigation between LIV and the PGA Tour, which both had filed lawsuits against the other. In August, LIV Golf filed an antitrust suit saying the tour — by banning players who had defected to LIV — was intentionally trying to curtail competition, but the PGA Tour countered with a lawsuit that claims LIV committed “tortious interference” by encouraging golfers to violate terms of their existing tour contracts.

The two sides have agreed to mutually end “all pending litigation between the participating parties,” the PGA Tour said in a statement announcing the merger.

With its deep-pocketed Saudi investors, LIV was able to sign away some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names, including major champions Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau. The LIV tour staged eight events last year and seven so far this year but was never close to turning a profit. The league struggled to find a broadcast partner, eventually striking a modest TV deal with the CW Network, and never signed any big-name corporate sponsors, instead relying on Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to almost exclusively fund the project.

Interesting. Will read later.

Meanwhile, Saudis are using too much water in Arizona to grow Alfalfa for their home market. It is illegal to grow in Saud because of the desert and preserving water. Looks like Trump and Kushner taught them how to better rape/take advantage of the US and its citizens.

According to the article, water regs are not state wide or even county wide. Hence the ability of this Saudi corp to deplete the AZ groundwater for their benefit. They could just try hydroponics in their own country or even AZ, but that would require thinking, I guess. 



And given it is golf, I know Trump was involved, as he is a major backer of LIV golf. Probably coached them how to back the PGA into a corner .

Google says his net worth is $5 billion. Just some of the many reasons both Kushner and Trump are deeply interested in becoming his friend. And Trump's first state visit as President was ...

New Yorker had a big article about this. A lot of animosity between the players who signed up with LIV and those who stayed with the PGA. LIV payed the top tier players a ton of money whether they won or lost- PGA just gave purses to the winners. A lot of PGA guys think working for LIV is unpatriotic due to the 911 attacks. Interesting to know what they think about it.

It depends on the tournament. The PGA is different from most sports. There is only a min of tourneys you must play in to remain a pro. Each tourney has their own breakdown of who gets paid. Golfers pay their caddies, hotel rooms. etc. It has been an individual sport, not a team one except for things like the Davis cup (US). LIV was a different take and did not sound exciting to me personally.

Everyone who made the PGA tournament for example, did get paid. The model is very similar to car racing before someone makes it big enough to be on a team.
