True Dough's JournalIsrael UK, France and Canada threaten action if Israel's offensive continues
It's about time some of the free world stands up!
The leaders of Britain, France and Canada issued a joint statement on Monday warning that they will take “further concrete actions” if Israel does not stop a renewed military offensive in Gaza and lift aid restrictions.
The statement by Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney condemns Israel’s expansion of military operations in Gaza as “wholly disproportionate”, adding that the “level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable”.
We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.
It describes the Israeli government’s “denial of essential humanitarian assistance” as “unacceptable” and says it risks breaching international humanitarian law. In addition, it condemns the “abhorrent” language used by Israeli politicians threatening civilians to relocate from Gaza.

Nicolas Cage plays John Madden in upcoming bio-pic
I'll probably give this a shot when it airs:
Directed by David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter, American Hustle), Madden is the story of John Madden’s journey from Super Bowl-winning coach of the Raiders to his pioneering work during the creation of EA’s Madden NFL series and his emergence as a sports broadcasting icon.
Written by David O. Russell, based on an earlier script by Cambron Clark, Madden also features John Mulaney as Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as John’s wife Virginia Madden, and Sienna Miller as Carol Davis, the wife of Raiders owner Al Davis.
No release date for the film has been revealed at this stage, but it is currently in production in Atlanta. The film was first revealed to be in the works back in mid-2023.

Pepsi slides out of top three selling sodas!
I'm not much of a soda drinker, but saw this article and figured it would be of interest to some here. It is a pretty tight race after Coke, with Dr. Pepper, Sprite and Pepsi within less than 4 tenths of a point of each other.
And the good news...

Bondi Sold More than $1 Million in Trump Media Stock the Day Trump Announced Sweeping Tariffs
This shit has got to stop!
Trump Media, which runs the social media platform Truth Social, fell 13% in the following days, before rebounding.
Trump’s “Liberation Day” press conference from the White House Rose Garden unveiling the tariffs came after the market closed on April 2. Bondi’s disclosure forms showing her Trump Media sales say the transactions were made on April 2 but do not disclose whether they occurred before or after the market closed.
Trades by government officials informed by nonpublic information learned through work could violate the law. But cases against government officials are legally challenging, and in recent years judges have largely narrowed what constitutes illegal insider trading.

Major League Baseball lifts Hall of Fame eligibility ban on Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson, other deceased players
In a historic, sweeping decision, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from Major League Baseball's permanently ineligible list.
The all-time hit king and Jackson -- both longtime baseball pariahs stained by gambling, seen by MLB as the game's mortal sin -- are now eligible for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
Manfred ruled that MLB's punishment of banned individuals ends upon their deaths.
"Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose's removal from the list Jan. 8. "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.
