#Brian #Evans and #George #Zoley, the two top executives at Geo Group, the 
private prison company,
made contributions directly to Trump’s campaign,
to his super PAC and to other political groups that support him,
and have said they 
expect Mr. Trump’s re-election to drive up demand for empty beds
at detention centers the company runs for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Mr. Zoley has already profited handsomely from Mr. Trump’s re-election.
This summer, as the election was approaching, he spent over $3 million to buy up large chunks of the company’s own stock,
or a total of 250,000 shares, federal filings show.
The average price he paid for that stock:
$12.28.
As of Friday, that stock was trading at $26.60,
as Geo Group saw the largest surge in its stock price since 2016,
after Mr. Trump was elected to his first term.
The bounce this month alone would generate a $3.6 million profit for Mr. Zoley, if sold at the new price.
The executives told Wall Street analysts during a recent earnings call that 
Trump’s election could help Geo Group fill as many as 18,000 empty beds at its facilities,
which would generate as much as $400 million in annual business.
“This is to us an unprecedented opportunity to assist the federal government and the incoming Trump administration toward achieving a much more aggressive immigration policy,” Mr. Evans told the Wall Street analysts.

Trump Boosters Expect Big Returns on Their Investment:
‘The Shackles Are Off’
Wealthy donors to the president-elect’s campaign anticipate a more business-friendly atmosphere,
including the firing of Biden-era regulators.
Limit the reach of federal regulations on artificial intelligence.Make room for cryptocurrencies to thrive.Ease the antitrust crackdown on big tech companies.Buy more military drones. And don’t raise taxes on billionaires.
The to-do list for President-elect Donald J. Trump from #Marc #Andreessen, the venture capital billionaire from California, is long, but quite specific.
Now, after donating big money to Mr. Trump, Mr. Andreessen is eager to see his candidate work through the list
“It felt like a boot off the throat,” Mr. Andreessen said about Mr. Trump’s victory during a podcast conversation this month with his business partner.
“Every morning I wake up happier than the day before.”
Mr. Andreessen’s excitement is a hint of just how broadly the victory by Mr. Trump has resonated with business executives who invested millions of dollars in his candidacy and now stand to profit from his policies.
Theirs is a circle of deep-pocketed industry winners that extends far beyond #Elon #Musk.
It is a more diverse group, at least in terms of business interests, than the one that surrounded Mr. Trump in his first administration, where executives from the oil, gas and coal industries were particularly dominant.
#Harold #Hamm, the billionaire founder of the Oklahoma-based oil and gas giant Continental Resources, is still in a position to benefit, from regulatory rollbacks that he and an affiliated trade association are already pushing.
But the list also includes:
#Joe #Lonsdale, a defense technology executive who wants to help the Pentagon revamp the way it fights wars;
#Cameron and #Tyler #Winklevoss, the twins who were known for their battle with Facebook, then became cryptocurrency investors and now want to shape the industry’s rules;
#Brian #Evans, the chief executive of Geo Group, the private prison giant that could benefit if Mr. Trump carries out his promise of large-scale deportations;
John Paulson, the hedge fund billionaire who could cash out of his investment in the federal government’s housing finance companies, Freddie and Fannie, if they are privatized under Mr. Trump.
“It will be a billionaires’ ball,” said Robert Reich, who served as secretary of labor during the Clinton administration and who has long been critical of the income disparity in the United States.
House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.) endorsed a convicted Capitol rioter in his primary challenge against a sitting House Republican.
It's a stark escalation of Republicans' lionization of those imprisoned for their roles on Jan. 6.
Good said in a statement he is supporting former West Virginia legislator #Derrick #Evans, who was sentenced three months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack, over Rep. Carol Miller (R-W.Va.).
Evans would be the first convicted Capitol rioter to serve in Congress
– Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisc.), elected in 2022, was present on Capitol grounds but not charged.
Evans, who was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 2020, resigned just over a month into his term after filming himself participating on Jan. 6.
In the days after the attack, Evans was charged with five criminal counts including obstructing an official proceeding.
In 2022 he pleaded guilty to one felony count of civil disorder.
Miller,
a leader of the center-right Republican Main Street Caucus,
raised $580,000 to Evans' $290,000 as of the end of 2023, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
The election is May 14.

Three shades of jazz swirled together in 1959 to make ‘Kind of Blue’
Frank Sinatra biographer James Kaplan has set his sights on three jazz giants
— Miles #Davis, John #Coltrane and Bill #Evans
— as their lives and their art lead up to the recording of 
Kind of Blue Davis’ landmark 1959 album that featured Coltrane on tenor saxophone and Evans on piano.
The album marked a commercial and creative peak in jazz, the summit of what Kaplan, in the book’s subtitle, calls The Lost Empire of Cool.
Along the way we meet a supporting roster comprising some of 20th century music’s greatest minds and talents.
There’s Charlie #Parker, the sax virtuoso who, along with trumpeter Dizzy #Gillespie, all but created bebop, and who left many followers scrambling to emulate his every move — including, tragically, his insatiable heroin addiction.
There’s Thelonious #Monk, the bearlike composer and pianist who thought in rhythms that others couldn’t fathom.
There’s Ornette #Coleman, the Texas-born saxophonist whose experiments went further out than even Coltrane (for a time, anyway) and left many listeners and peers baffled and even angry.

Accused Jan. 6 rioter charged with firing gun during U.S. Capitol attack: report
John Emanuel #Banuelos was the subject of the NBC News investigation that began two years ago when photos and video surfaced of a 
man with a gun tucked in waistband during the riots, according to reporter Ryan Reilly.
"Last month, Jan. 6 rioter #Derrick #Evans, who is now running in a Republican House primary in West Virginia, published previously unseen video that appeared to show that #Banuelos actually 
fired his weapon twice outside the Capitol that day," the report notes.
"Online 'sedition hunters' who have aided the FBI in hundreds of arrests of Capitol rioters
— and who first sent Banuelos' name to the FBI in February 2021
— quickly surfaced additional footage that confirmed that Banuelos was the man who appeared to have fired the weapon https://www.rawstory.com/jan-6-riot-arrest/
