What? Me? Really?
Why would that be a disastrous blow? Are Adelson's heirs of a different political sympathy than he was? Did his billions evaporate?

Adelson gave $218 million in donations in 2019 and 2020 to the Republicans. The Republicans' terrible, horrible, no good, awful day just got worse.![]()
I bet the toad got most of it. Funny how they're starting to turn on him now that the money is threatened.
When President Donald Trump connected by phone last week with Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson — perhaps the only person in the party who can cut a nine-figure check to aid his reelection — the phone call unexpectedly turned contentious.
The 87-year-old casino mogul had reached out to Trump to talk about the coronavirus relief bill and the economy. But then Trump brought the conversation around to the campaign and confronted Adelson about why he wasn’t doing more to bolster his reelection, according to three people with direct knowledge of the call. One of the people said it was apparent the president had no idea how much Adelson, who’s donated tens of millions of dollars to pro-Trump efforts over the years, had helped him. Adelson chose not to come back at Trump.
When word of the call circulated afterward, Republican Party officials grew alarmed the president had antagonized one of his biggest benefactors at a precarious moment in his campaign. They rushed to smooth things over with him, but the damage may have been done.
Federal authorities have charged the son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week.
Aaron Mostofsky, 34, son of Judge Steven “Shlomo” Mostofsky, was arrested Tuesday morning at his brother’s home in Brooklyn, according to a source.
He was charged with theft of government property, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, impeding government business and unlawful entry and disorderly conduct, according to a criminal complaint.
Let me make your day.
Trump antagonizes GOP megadonor Adelson in heated phone call [Politico]
Offending a casino mafia head and his wife who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to your party. Tsk tsk tsk. Adelson gave some money when it became apparent that Trump was probably going to lose the Presidency and had put the Republican hold over the Senate at risk but his donations were significantly less after the Trump call.

Klete Keller, a two-time U.S. Olympic swimming gold medalist, was charged Wednesday for allegedly participating in last week's riots at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
According to court records, Keller was charged with obstructing law enforcement, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct. All are federal crimes...
Video footage appeared to show Keller, 38, maskless and donning a Team USA jacket during the riot, and his alleged participation was first reported by the swimming news site SwimSwam. He was part of the U.S. swim team at the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics, anchoring the 4x200 freestyle. In 2004 in Athens, he notably held off Australia's Ian Thorpe to help his team -- which featured Michael Phelps -- win gold.

A retired U.S. Navy SEAL is facing questions from the FBI after boasting in a Facebook video about "breaching the Capitol" last Wednesday after traveling to Washington to join a rally for President Donald Trump, an assault he said in the video that he hoped would ignite a "positive revolution."
The video shows Adam Newbold, 45, from Lisbon, Ohio, who the Navy confirmed is a retired reserve SEAL special warfare operator, in a car on his return home from Washington, telling his Facebook followers that he was "proud" of the assault on the U.S. Capitol building earlier that day...
"There was destruction, breaching the Capitol, our building, our house. And, um, to get in you had to destroy doors and windows to get in," Newbold says in the video. The video has been deleted from Facebook, but a copy of it was obtained by ABC News.
Authorities have arrested a man who was pictured in the US Capitol last week holding a Confederate flag during a riot, according to a law enforcement official.
The law enforcement official told CNN that Kevin Seefried of Delaware has been identified as the man in the photo.
A former occupational therapist for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District has been charged for her role in the riots and breach at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. last week.
According to documents filed in United States District Court, 49-year-old Christine Priola faces charges of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and unlawful activities on Capitol grounds...
Priola resigned from her position with the CMSD last Thursday. In her resignation letter, she cited her desire to switch career paths to focus on exposing human trafficking and pedophilia and not wanting to take a COVID-19 vaccine in order to return to in-person school. The letter came only after social media users linked her to photos taken of a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump that stormed the U.S. Capitol and forced lawmakers into hiding in an attempt to overturn the presidential election.
A doctor and outspoken critic of the coronavirus vaccine was among those who entered the Capitol building last week during the siege that disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Simone Gold gained national attention in July when she and other physicians appeared in front of the Supreme Court for a sparsely attended news conference to decry pandemic lockdowns and criticize government efforts to stop the spread of the disease. Video of the event, organized by conservative activists, was retweeted by the president and viewed by millions before social media platforms took it down.
Gold confirmed to The Washington Post that she is the person pictured carrying a bullhorn on the Capitol grounds Wednesday in FBI and D.C. police bulletins seeking more information about individuals who were present...
Gold told The Post she worked as an emergency room physician for two hospitals at the time but was “promptly fired” after the event and has not worked as a doctor since.
CNN said:The law enforcement official told CNN that Kevin Seefried of Delaware has been identified as the man in the photo.
