A Tennessee court has halted the Thursday sale of Elvis Presley's historic Graceland mansion.

Chancellor JoeDae L. Jenkins said at an injunction hearing at Shelby County Tennessee Chancery Court on Wednesday morning that the proposed auctioning of the property on Thursday will not go ahead after the Rock ‘n’ Roll legend's granddaughter claimed documents pertaining to the case were fraudulent.

The judge said he considered the real estate unique to the state and that there must be time for adequate discovery, and for the defense to address claims made about the potential sale.

The judge noted that this matter is of public interest, and that Graceland is part of the community and is well-loved.

A company claims that Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’s only child, took out a $3.8 million loan but never paid it back having put the estate up as collateral via a signed Deed of Trust in 2018.

The company, called Naussany Investments and Private Lending, claims Lisa Marie never paid back that money before she died last year and the firm initiated plans for Elvis' former home in Memphis, as well as its surrounding acreage on Elvis Presley Boulevard, to be sold to the highest bidder at a foreclosure sale.

Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keough, is the sole heir to the property and has asked a court for an injunction preventing the sale, which was initially scheduled to go ahead Thursday.

Keough says that the lawsuit is all a scam, with forged documents and a fake shell company making the claim.

All the Aid From Biden’s Gaza Pier was Seized by Hamas
That was $300 million in taxpayer money well spent.

If you’re keeping track, Biden announced that America was going to spend two months building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million that would be operated by the U.S. military.

Then the pier came under attack by terrorists, was withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs while the Biden administration conducted backchannel talks with Hamas urging it not to attack the pier, then redeployed for aid deliveries and it’s been a smashing success.

For Hamas.

The good news was that the Pentagon press secretary announced that 569 metric tons of humanitarian assistance has been delivered across the temporary pier in Gaza.

The bad news was that according to the same press secretary, none of the aid has gotten through to any recognized aid distribution points.

Schumer plans vote on 'constitutional right to contraception' in bid to protect Senate Democrat majority
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to put Republicans on record on birth control, contraception with fast-tracked vote

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is planning a vote on the "constitutional right to contraception," in an election-year move aimed at protecting Democrats' control of the Senate.

The majority leader is expected to fast-track a vote next month on the Right to Contraception Act. Though it likely won’t pass with most Republicans opposing the bill, Schumer wants to put senators in the opposing party on record on contraception and birth control access during an election year, The New York Times reported.

The bill’s language says it "sets out statutory protections for an individual's right to access and a health care provider's right to provide contraception and related information."

"This is a clarifying political vote that will put every Republican on record as to whether or not they believe in a constitutional right to contraception," the bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., told the New York Times.

Senate Republicans last year blocked Markey's effort to pass a version of the bill without debate, arguing the legislation could also apply to pills that induce abortion, not simply birth control.

Replaying strategy used in 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Senate Democrats are hammering Republicans on not only abortion, but birth control and contraception access.

Schumer hosted a press conference outside the Capitol on Tuesday with Planned Parenthood doctors dedicated to discussing "how Republican abortion bans are hurting health care providers and worsening access to care for millions of people." He claimed that "far right Republicans have been working systematically to dismantle a woman's fundamental right to choose, and they've been working at it for decades."

"So today we're here to say loud and clear, Democrats stand with women, and with our nation's health care providers," Schumer said. "We will never, ever stop fighting against these Republican attacks. We will never, ever stop fighting to take back these rights from the far-right extremists who want to impose their views on the country that overwhelmingly do not agree with them."
