Former President Donald Trump’s campaign team has responded after an Atlanta man claimed he was misled into hosting one of their events at his barbershop.

Barbershop owner Rocky Jones told local outlets that a friend initially approached him about hosting a roundtable for small Black businesses in the area. Jones said he was shocked when he later learned that the roundtable was a pro-Trump event featuring appearances from the former president’s Black allies, Dr. Ben Carson and Rep. Byron Donalds.

“I feel like I have been betrayed,” Jones said.

Wednesday’s (June 26) event, titled “Black American Business Leaders Barbershop Roundtable,” garnered national attention ahead of the first presidential debate of 2024 at CNN Studios in Atlanta.

“I honestly didn’t think about it. It…

House votes to force sale of TikTok by Chinese owner

March 13, 2024 Web Shared Hosting News 0

The House voted overwhelmingly to pass legislation that will force TikTok to separate itself from its parent company in China or be banned in the United States, a major step toward a crackdown motivated by fears that the popular social media company could be used for spying or manipulation by the Chinese Communist Party.

The House voted 352-65 on Wednesday to pass the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. The bill, introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), would make it unlawful for app stores or web hosting services to provide services to social media applications owned and operated by the Chinese company ByteDance.

Multiple posts are being shared in community groups on Facebook claiming to be searching for the owner of a lost dog and its pup. But these posts are not genuine.

Social media appeals to reunite owner with injured dog are likely hoaxes

December 4, 2023 Web Shared Hosting News 0

Social media posts appealing to find the owner of a dog allegedly struck by a car have been shared widely across Facebook. But this does not appear to be genuine, as locations for the same “hit-and-run” incident claimed to have injured the same dog have been repeated across local groups ranging from the UK to America.

Multiple Facebook posts circulating since 28 November use the same image of a dog with cream fur being held wrapped in a blanket with blood on its muzzle, inside what appears to be a veterinary surgery.

The posts, some of which have been shared more than a thousand times, all share almost identical captions. They say: “I am urgently looking for this guy’s owner [heartbreak emoji] found him lying on the side road in [location].

“He was hit by a…
