Donald Trump‘s niece, psychologist Mary Trump, recently criticized her uncle for his unchanging leadership <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40303946/kamala-harris-and-donald-trump-clash-over-federal-reserves-autonomy">style and temperament</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X, Mary Trump expressed her views on Donald Trump&#8217;s leadership style. She described him as an &#8220;unchanged, thin-skinned bully,&#8221; adding that this makes him dangerous. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Real leaders evolve. Donald remains an unchanged, thin-skinned bully—and that&#39;s what makes him dangerous. Thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/andersoncooper?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@andersoncooper</a> for discussing this issue and Who Could Ever Love You. <a href="https://t.co/muRPm7PSkP">pic.twitter.com/muRPm7PSkP</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In the interview <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLGrSrKFskc">with</a> CNN, Mary Trump commended Kamala Harris for what she described as a strategic emotional blow to her uncle during the opening moments of the presidential debate on Tuesday. Speaking with CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper, Mary Trump explained that Harris&#8217;s approach effectively unsettled the former president, leading him to unravel in front of viewers.
&#8220;He just couldn&#8217;t regain his composure, and frankly, I don't think he will,&#8221; she remarked.
Mary Trump went on to praise Harris for delivering clear, informative responses that gave the public a better understanding of her vision for the country, while also expertly targeting Trump&#8217;s weak points.

During the interview, the CNN anchor read an excerpt from Mary Trump&#8217;s book Who Could Ever Love You, where she described her uncle&#8217;s childhood behavior as that of &#8220;a thin-skinned bully who tormented younger kids but would retreat in anger when confronted.&#8221;
"That is one of the most damning and dangerous things about Donald Trump and that is one of the things that makes him most unfit. He's never evolved from that. That's still who he is," Mary Trump said.
Why It Matters: Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, has been vocal about her criticisms of her uncle&#8217;s leadership style. Her book, &#8220;Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World&#8217;s Most Dangerous Man,&#8221; delves into the Trump family dynamics and Donald Trump&#8217;s upbringing, which she believes shaped his leadership style.
Her latest tweet continues this narrative, suggesting that Donald Trump&#8217;s leadership style has not evolved and remains a cause for concern.

Mary Trump Says 'Donald Trump Remains Thin-Skinned Bully And That's What Makes Him Dangerous'

On Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court decided that dueling initiatives to expand or restrict abortion rights <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/abortion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">will be included on the November ballot</a>. This decision followed recent hearings in which three separate lawsuits aimed to prevent either or both of the abortion measures from appearing on the ballot, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/ap-nebraska-ballot-can-include-competing-measures-to-expand-or-limit-abortion-rights-high-court-rules/">reported</a> The Hill.
Voters in the Cornhusker State will decide on a ballot measure proposing to enshrine the right to abortion up to fetal viability in the state constitution. Conversely, another measure aims to cement the state&#8217;s existing 12-week abortion ban into law.
Organizers for both proposals collected over 200,000 signatures each, surpassing the 123,000 valid signatures required to qualify for the ballot, the Hill added. For the first time since the U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade, Nebraska will feature competing abortion amendments on the same ballot.

Meanwhile, nine other states will also address abortion issues on their ballots this year, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and South Dakota, where measures to protect access are also set to appear.
The latest development follows two initiatives, the&nbsp;Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection Initiative and the&nbsp;Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Initiative, which have both surpassed the required 87,126 valid signatures to be considered for the November 2024 ballot.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nebraska" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nebraska</a>&nbsp;Secretary of State&#8217;s office&nbsp;<a href="https://sos.nebraska.gov/sites/default/files/doc/news-releases/Secretary%20of%20State%20provides%20update%20on%20remaining%20petitions_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed</a>&nbsp;the&nbsp;89,000&nbsp;petitions have valid signatures&nbsp;and that officials are &#8220;nearing the end of the verification process by county election offices,&#8221; bringing them close to certification.

Nebraska Supreme Court Greenlights Competing Abortion Measures For November Ballot

In a volatile cannabis market driven by regulatory uncertainty and the upcoming U.S. elections, New Lake Capital Partners (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLCP#OTC">NLCP</a>) stands out as a stable option for investors seeking consistent returns.&nbsp;
With its cannabis-focused real estate portfolio, NLCP offers strong dividend yields and steady rental income growth, making it an attractive choice amid market turbulence. 
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic#google_vignette">Pablo Zuanic </a>of Zuanic &amp; Associates, NLCP's financial performance and dividend yield make it a potentially attractive option for investors navigating the volatile cannabis sector.

Subscribe to our newsletter&nbsp;<a href="https://newsletteremail.benzinga.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. If you&#8217;re serious about the business, you can&#8217;t afford to miss out.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rental Income Growth And AFFO Strength</h3>
NLCP&#8217;s rental income for the first half of 2024 increased by 10% year-over-year, reaching $12.2 million, noted Zuanic. The company's net real estate portfolio (NREP) grew by 2.4% since the end of 2023, bringing its total portfolio yield to an annualized 12.7%. 
This is slightly behind its peer, Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), which posted a 14.6% yield on its portfolio after a 5% growth since year-end 2022. Despite the slower growth, NLCP's Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) rose by 17% year-over-year in Q2 2024, compared to a modest 1% increase for Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IIPR#NYSE">IIPR</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dividend Security And Yield Comparison</h3>
NLCP's quarterly dividend of $0.43 per share provides an 8.7% yield, significantly higher than IIPR's 5.9% yield and 500 basis points above the U.S. 10-year Treasury rate.&nbsp;
Zuanic's projections estimate an AFFO per share of $2.10 for 2024, translating to a price-to-AFFO ratio of 9.4x, compared to 14.1x for IIPR, indicating a potential value for NLCP investors.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Risks</h3>
Although NLCP's portfolio is fully rented, certain risks remain. Zuanic reports that Revolutionary Clinics, a tenant accounting for 10% of NLCP's rental income, missed 50% of its June and July 2024 rent payments. The company is negotiating with the tenant to resolve the issue, possibly through rent deferrals or other concessions. Additionally, five operators account for 62% of NLCP's rental income, with Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) representing 22%. 
By comparison, IIPR's top five tenants contribute 48% of its rental revenue, highlighting potential concentration risks in both companies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Leverage Among REITS</h3>
Within the cannabis real estate investment trust (REIT) sector, mortgage REITs like Chicago Atlantic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REFI#NASDAQ">REFI</a>) and AFCG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFCG#NASDAQ">AFCG</a>) have experienced different growth rates. REFI&#8217;s loan book grew by 22% year-over-year in Q2 2024, while AFCG saw some notable exits during the quarter, resulting in a smaller loan book. 
Despite these differences, NLCP maintains a conservative debt strategy, with only $7.6 million drawn from its $90 million credit facility, representing 1.9% of equity. In contrast, IIPR carries $297 million in debt, or 15% of its equity, but boasts a 17x debt service coverage ratio, signaling a strong ability to meet its obligations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation And Outlook</h3>
While NLCP currently trades near its book value of $19.54 at $19.76 per share, IIPR trades at 1.82 times its book value, reflecting a premium tied to its perceived growth potential.&nbsp;
Although NLCP lacks a listing on a major U.S. exchange, Zuanic's report suggests the company could achieve a premium valuation if the cannabis industry's growth continues, particularly given its solid dividend yield and strong AFFO performance.

$12M In Rental Income: Why Investors Should Watch This Stock That's Crushing Averages

According to a report, leading tech companies are shelling out millions each year to safeguard their CEOs, with some companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40667286/trump-warns-zuckerberg-in-latest-book-says-he-could-be-in-prison-for-the-rest-of-his-life-we-are-wat">paying more than others</a>.
What Happened: Security costs for top executives can be among the most expensive perks, including home monitoring, personal bodyguards, and security consulting, according to a report <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/09/14/tech-billionaire-ceos-security-costs-meta-tesla-apple-nvidia-google/">by</a> Fortune.
Bill Herzog, CEO of LionHeart Security Services, stressed the necessity of investing in the protection of high-profile CEOs, considering the potential risks they face.
LionHeart Security Services charges $60 per hour or more for security services, which could result in an annual bill of over $1 million for two guards.
"When you're talking about somebody who's worth millions of dollars or billions of dollars, and they are in charge of an entire company, there is a real possibility of kidnapping, there's a real possibility of extortion, there's a real possibility of attempts on their lives," Herzog told the outlet.&nbsp;

Meta leads the pack, having spent $23.4 million in 2023 on personal security for CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This includes $9.4 million in direct security costs and a $14 million pre-tax allowance for additional security-related expenses.
Alphabet Inc. spent $6.8 million on personal security for CEO Sundar Pichai in 2023, while Tesla Inc. paid $2.4 million for Elon Musk&#8216;s security services.
Other tech giants, such as Nvidia Corporation and Apple Inc., also invest significantly in their CEOs&#8217; security, spending $2.2 million and $820,309 respectively in 2023.
Why It Matters: The security of top executives has become a significant expense for tech companies. The rising costs reflect the increasing threats faced by these high-profile individuals. 
The significant investment in security measures is a testament to the importance these companies place on the safety of their leaders. It also underscores the potential risks associated with leading a major tech company in today&#8217;s world. 
The substantial costs incurred for security services highlight the lengths to which companies are willing to go to ensure the safety and well-being of their top executives.

Big Tech's Security Spending Spree: Zuckerberg Leads In Lavish Security Measures

Green Goddess Revival, a medical marijuana dispensary in Denton Texas, was the target of a law enforcement raid on Thursday in which $10,000 in products were seized, business owners said. A warrant to search stated it was targeting noncompliant THC products. Denton is among several Texas towns that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40421781/dallas-voters-to-vote-on-marijuana-decriminalization-this-november">will vote this November</a> to approve adult-use cannabis.
Photos posted on social media depicted Denton County Sheriff&#8217;s Office personnel, one of whom was wearing a U.S. Marshals Service Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force vest.
"It is absurd to see US Marshalls Fugitive Task Force raiding a hemp shop in Denton, Texas in 2024," wrote the Texas Cannabis Collective on X.

"People literally come in everyday almost in years because we provide them with medicine that gives them their life back. We&#8217;re a local shop that gives product to people for almost nothing if needed and has supported the community for years," continued the Cannabis Collective. Texas approved a limited medical marijuana program in 2015.

What Happened: Store manager Jack Howell <a href="https://dentonrc.com/news/denton/officers-seize-10-000-in-products-from-denton-dispensary-store-says/article_d65936b4-71fa-11ef-8c02-4b1cbcabad6f.html">told</a> the Denton Record-Chronicle Friday that the officers told him they'd received a complaint about someone smoking weed outside the shop. Howell questioned the legitimacy of the officers' statement, saying that a now-former employee was smoking a joint outside the shop when plainclothes officers approached her and asked to search the shop. She said no and was arrested on an unrelated outstanding warrant. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">License And Paperwork All In Order</h2>
Howell said the Green Goddess Revival's paperwork was in order to prove that products contained less than 0.3% of THC, which is permissible in Texas and meets the standards for medical marijuana. 
An officer of the Eastern District of Texas denied that an officer in the photo was a member of the federal task force but was not operating in that capacity when they raided the legal medical marijuana shop.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Then There&#8217;s Texas AG Ken Paxton</h2>
Meanwhile, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36880984/gop-attor-ney-gen-er-al-in-texas-sues-five-cities-to-stop-voter-approved-mar-i-jua-na-reform-say" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuits over voter-approved</a> marijuana decriminalization initiatives underway in five Texas towns, some of which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39946113/gop-attor-ney-gen-er-al-in-texas-loses-legal-battle-against-towns-with-decriminalized-cannabis-i">have been thrown out</a> by judges. Denton, population 150,000, is among those towns. Paxton argues that these local initiatives violate state law are unconstitutional and that the five mostly small cities are being run by &#8220;criminal extremists.&#8221;
