Witnesses in GA Trump probe suspected of lying, Raquel Welch ... (USA TODAY)

Witnesses in Georgia's Trump investigation are suspected of lying. What's that mean for the probe? Plus, Raquel Welch dies at 82: 5 Things podcast.

Celebrities remembered her yesterday, including Reese Witherspoon who tweeted, "She was elegant, professional, and glamorous beyond belief. Jayme, great insight on all of this. All right. But what corporate leaders and investors are seeing from research is that it's not just a moral issue, it's a business one. Overall, men outnumber women five to one among named executives, right? And for this story, we wanted to come up with a different way to measure who holds the most power because the way it's typically reported, companies show that they have hundreds of people in executive jobs, when really the most power is held by a handful of individuals at the top of those companies. What types of jobs are we talking about, Elisabeth, and what's the difference in terms of how gig workers file their taxes? So what does that mean for tax season? So much work now takes place in the so-called gig economy. Plus, a look at the latest debt ceiling timeline and how to do your taxes in the gig economy.

Retail Sales surge and Raquel Welch passes (FXStreet)

The market commentary is for informational purposes only and should not be deemed as a solicitation to invest or increase investments in BJAM products or the products of BJAM affiliates. In a deep pan – melt half a stick of butter and add a splash of olive oil, add the chopped garlic and the diced prosciutto. I continue to favor the STPN (Stuff that People Need) as the overweight with Aerospace/Defense, AI, Cybersecurity and SMID’s (small and Mid-Cap) as complements. I continue to think we will test 4000 again in the next couple of weeks and I think it holds. Today brings us the all-important PPI number – inflation at the producer level and that too is expected to be up m/m but down y/y – just like the CPI was supposed to be….Top line PPI demand at +0.4% up from -0.5% last month, y/y at +5.4% down from 6.2% last month. The PPI Ex food and energy up +0.3% m/m and down to 4.9% y/y….Now remember that the CPI was stronger in the y/y numbers – something that caught the markets by surprise – so expect investors to be looking for that in the PPI number….also – I wonder if we will start to hear about the Super Core PPI number – which – like the Super Core CPI number just eliminates sectors of the economy that economists ‘think’ disrupt the picture too much….in order to give them the result that want (and need) to support their narrative in the event that the report is ‘hotter’ than what they want. Again - We remain in the broader 4000/4200 range….and the longer we remain above 4100, the more 4000 becomes significant support in the event of a pullback…. Is it the soft landing that we all hoped for or is it all about to fall off the edge? And like I said – rates went UP on the back of that strong report – and stocks went up – which continues to be a bit counter intuitive….. By the end of the day – the Dow gained 40 pts, the S&P gained 11, the Nasdaq added 110, the Russell gained 22 and the Transports added 48 pts. You see rising prices push UP sales figures (because you spend more but buy less) – they are not adjusted for inflation, so you have to ask – Is the 3% jump as strong as it appears? The consumer is alive and well…..Retail Sales (seasonally adjusted)– which were expected to come in at +2% came in at +3%, and EX Autos and Gas it was even more dramatic….+2.6% vs.

Raquel Welch obituary (The Guardian)

Star who shot to global fame in the 1960s in One Million Years BC and whose later roles showed her aptitude for comedy.

[Peter Cook](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-peter-cook-1567341.html) and [Dudley Moore](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/mar/28/guardianobituaries.media) in Bedazzled (1967), a comedy irreverently resetting the Faust legend in 1960s swinging London. Variety described Welch as “at best a pleasantly passable singer”, suiting “the costumes better than she does the vocal and acting requirements”. She also comically played a temperamental version of herself attacking Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) and Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld. But a technicality involving start dates and contract options ruled out the Bond film and she was cast in Fantastic Voyage (1966), a big-budget sci-fi submarine saga, clad in a wetsuit. She took top billing in Myra Breckinridge (1970), as a transgender movie critic, in a misjudged adaptation of Her last film was How to Be a Latin Lover (2017). In an updating of the [Katharine Hepburn](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2003/jul/01/guardianobituaries.film)-Spencer Tracy 1942 movie of the same title, she gave a show-stopping performance as the TV news personality Tess Harding. In the event, she worked as a model and cocktail waiter in Dallas, Texas, before moving to Los Angeles. The performance won her a Golden Globe best actress award and she reprised the part in The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge (1974). She increasingly took roles on television and worked up an act as a nightclub singer that she took across the US. “It would be inaccurate to say that Miss Welch is a better actress than Miss Bacall, but certainly at this stage of her career she is a more animated musical personality.” Ursula Andress, who had emerged from the sea in another famous bikini for the 1962 James Bond film Dr No, had turned down the role of Loana.

Raquel Welch, actress and Hollywood sex symbol, dead at 82 (wfit)

Welch is best known for her roles in Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C. She is survived by her son and daughter.

"Latinos are here to stay," she said at a National Press Club Luncheon in 2002. "Raquel Welch was a screen legend during a time when Latinos rarely were given any work in Hollywood (unless it was a stereotype)," said film critic and Entertainment Weekly editor Yolanda Machado. "We don't have that many stars," Alcaraz said. That paved the way for back-to-back roles in [Fantastic Voyage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO5E4wkg0hA), and [One Million Years B.C](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd-kdrF6rxk). She said that was the hardest thing." "She passed away with no pain," he said.

In a career spanning nearly six decades, Welch started in the 1960s with appearances on TV shows such as The Virginian, McHale's Navy and Bewitched. Welch made film history in this 1969 Western, starring alongside African American actor and former professional football player Jim Brown.

Welch had been a huge fan of the book, which is why she agreed to star in the film — and she remains the only reason to revisit it today. It is one political minefield of a movie, to say the least.
