VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Did you know that different regions of the sun rotate at different rates? The sun is not a solid object, so rotation speeds can and do vary with latitude. The sun rotates once every ~24 days at the equator, and once every ~30 days at the poles!

Solar Rotation Varies by Latitude - NASA
The Sun rotates on its axis once in about 27 days. This rotation was first detected by observing the motion of sunspots.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

It’s a factor, but far from the only one. Productions fled California like rats off a ship because the tax incentives for filming did not keep up with costs, plus the cost of living got so high that creatives living off sporadic gigs simply couldn’t afford it.
