- Miles McBride gifts Knicks teammates custom 1800 Tequila bottles to commemorate ...
The first New York Knicks NBA championship in 53 years has the entire city in rapture still days after beating the San Antonio Spurs in five games. This special moment in Knicks history is something the players especially have not taken for granted, and one of them working alongside 1800 Tequila to commemorate the moment in special fashion. Miles "Deuce" McBride teamed up with the tequila brand to gift his teammates with custom New York-themed bottles of 1800 Milenio Tequila, which is the brand’s luxury expression made for those legendary milestones like the Knicks had this season. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXBUSINESS.COMThe bottles were designed specifically for the championship season by local illustrator and longtime Knicks fan Fefi. They feature New York City iconography, hometown sayings, and have visual nods to the grit, pride and energy that have been seen throughout this historic playoff run all around the bottle. There were only 30 bottles created and gifted to the roster and several staff members from McBride, with each one being a personal keepsake to remember this signature moment in New York sports history. KNICKS' FANATICS CHAMPIONSHIP GEAR FLYING OFF THE SHELVES IN RECORD FASHIONMcBride’s Knicks teammates, including NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, were captured receiving their bottles, taking in the artistry across them at the moment. The Knicks made 1800 Tequila the official tequila of the team, and that partnership was on full display during the playoff run. While having sold-out Knicks limited edition bottles, it also launched Row 18(00), which was a campaign featuring New York-based content creators that gave real Knicks fans who may have gotten priced out of attending playoff games at Madison Square Garden the chance to watch from Row 18 inside the arena. During the NBA Finals, Game 3 for the Knicks and Spurs, which marked the first finals game at MSG since 1999, had an average selling price around $7,683, according to Vivid Seats earlier this month. The cheapest ticket to attend was $3,940, and those four-figure prices were also seen earlier in the playoffs. That’s how astronomical the demand was to see the Knicks in "The Mecca," with fans from all around smelling the history that was about to be made. The players believed it every step of the way as well, never giving up despite the double-digit leads the Spurs held in each of the five NBA Finals games. Game 4 at MSG will… [TheTopNews] Read More.22 hours ago - Trump visits Mack Trucks plant in battleground Pennsylvania district to tout eco...President Donald Trump on Tuesday visited the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, to tout his economic agenda in a battleground district ahead of this fall's midterm elections.Trump spoke to a crowd at the Mack Trucks facility while accompanied by Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa., who represents the Keystone State's 7th congressional district where the plant is located. Mackenzie is running for reelection and will face Democratic challenger Bob Brooks this fall.The president touted the impact of his economic policies on Pennsylvania, saying that they've helped boost job creation in the commonwealth with a particular focus on manufacturing jobs."More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. And we've created over… 32,000 new jobs just starting in Pennsylvania alone. But you have to get credit for that," Trump said. "And in the last few months alone, we've added 2,600 Pennsylvania manufacturing jobs, and that number's going to go much higher as the factories start to open."JOHNSON & JOHNSON TO INVEST $1B IN PENNSYLVANIA MANUFACTURING FACILITYTrump also praised the role of Mack Trucks, which is owned by Volvo Group of Sweden, in supporting both the regional and national economy with its production."For more than 100 years, this legendary company has been making trucks right here in Eastern Pennsylvania, building the heavy machinery that keeps our economy rolling on, factories moving and our industries rolling all across the nation," Trump said.TRUMP GREENLIGHTS U.S. STEEL DEAL, PROMISING $11B INVESTMENT AND 100,000 AMERICAN JOBSHe also said that his move to roll back the Biden administration's fuel emissions regulations, arguing that those more stringent standards would've raised costs on consumers and created problems for companies like Mack Trucks."I terminated Biden's disastrous fuel emission standards that would have crushed Mack Trucks here," Trump said. "It was the most insane environmental regulation ever conceived of by men. It was totally unreasonable and ridiculous, and you can sell trucks for much less money, that are much better trucks that work, that actually work."TRUMP ORDERS FEDERAL AGENCIES TO PRIORITIZE AMERICAN-MADE GOODS AND CURB WAIVER USETrump's speech also referenced other notable investments in the region's manufacturing industries, including the pharmaceutical, medical products and chip-making sectors."Eli Lilly has just announced — great company, by the way, drug company — a $3.5 billion investment in a brand-new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility right down the road that's going to create over a thousand jobs. Just that one," Trump explained.GET… [TheTopNews] Read More.23 hours ago

The suit alleged that Cisco knowingly developed technology that enabled China's government to surveil and persecute Falun Gong members.The Alien Tort Statute had been effectively dormant for nearly 200 years before lawyers started to use it in the 1980s to bring international human rights cases, and the Cisco suit questioned whether it can be used to hold corporations liable if they "aid and abet" human rights abuses through "accomplice liability."TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PLANS NEW TARIFFS ON 60 TRADING PARTNERS OVER FORCED LABOR IMPORT ENFORCEMENT FAILURESThe Falun Gong movement was founded in China in 1992, and was banned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1999, after thousands of the group's members appeared at the central leadership compound in Beijing to stage a silent protest. The group has called for its members to denounce the CCP and has been heavily critical of its leadership in China.Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion which supported Cisco's argument that the law doesn't support holding companies liable for aiding and abetting human rights abuses."Courts cannot create new rights of action to remedy violations of international law, so there is necessarily no liability for aiding and abetting such violations," Barrett wrote as the ruling dismissed the claims against Cisco.The Supreme Court's ruling split the justices along ideological lines, with the six conservative justices in the majority and the three liberals dissenting.COMPUTER WARS HEAT UP AS CHINESE SUPERCOMPUTER TOPS ALL US MACHINES IN SPEED FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2017Paul Hoffman, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said they were disappointed with the ruling and called for Congress to take action and create a law "so that victims of serious human rights violations at the hands of U.S. corporations may hold those corporations accountable in U.S. courts under the Alien Tort Statute."Additionally, the Supreme Court issued an 8-1 decision that a similar law known as the Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 didn't permit a group of plaintiffs to move forward with a lawsuit that sought… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago

- Truckload Rates Keep Rising as Tight Capacity Fuels Freight Market Recovery
The freight market recovery that began earlier this year appears to be gaining momentum, but analysts say the improvement is being driven more by reduced capacity than a major rebound in freight demand. After nearly three years of freight recession, recent May and June data show truckload rates continuing to climb as fewer trucks and drivers remain available in the market. According to TruckingInfo, spot and contract rates increased during May and June, even though freight volumes were not surging. DAT Freight & Analytics reported that truckload volumes fell month over month across van, refrigerated, and flatbed freight in May. Despite that decline, spot rates increased across all three segments. Van spot rates rose 22 cents per mile, refrigerated rates increased 24 cents per mile, and flatbed rates gained 19 cents per mile. Industry analysts say the stronger pricing environment reflects a market where capacity has contracted enough to better match current freight demand. DAT noted that May’s spot market appeared healthier than volume data alone suggested because carriers were being compensated for tighter truck availability. Contributing factors included the CVSA International Roadcheck inspection blitz, Memorial Day disruptions, immigration enforcement activity, and some carriers shifting equipment toward contract freight where fuel surcharge programs offer more predictable cost recovery. ACT Research reported a similar trend continuing into June. The firm said truckload spot rates, excluding fuel, were on pace to rise more than 40% year over year. ACT attributed the rate acceleration primarily to tighter supply, pointing to lower equipment investment during the downturn, driver shortages, stricter regulatory enforcement, immigration policies, crackdowns on fraudulent electronic logging devices, and the closure of some driver training schools. Driver availability remains one of the biggest factors shaping the current recovery. ACT’s Driver Availability Index stayed deep in shortage territory in May at 32.6, far below the neutral level of 50. While slightly improved from April, the reading suggests the driver supply remains tight and may stay constrained for an extended period. Although capacity constraints are the main force behind rising rates, demand indicators are also showing modest improvement. FTR reported that first-quarter trucking revenues rose 4.3% year over year, with general freight revenues up 6.9% and long-distance general freight revenues increasing 6.5%. These figures suggest freight demand is recovering from recessionary lows, though not strongly enough to fully explain the sharp rise in rates. Recent Truckstop.com and FTR data also show the market… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago
