This day ten years ago.

On 30 October 2015 the now-destroyed Arecibo radio telescope images this giant skull looming out of the dark of space.

A ghostly skull shape, defined by two darker areas where the eyes would be, and the lower portion of which fades into the grey speckled pattern of the background.

“This is basically them saying that he is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt guilty as fuck, and everyone knows it.”

Same could be said for Little Johnson not seating an elected Congressperson.

If there was even the slightest possibility that Prince Andrew might potentially not be a pedophile, the royal family would be defending him to the death.

This is basically them saying that he is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt guilty as fuck, and everyone knows it.

Countdown to a TRUTH post about how unfairly Andrew was treated by Charles.

King Charles III strips Prince Andrew of titles, evicts him from royal residence over Epstein ties

Effective immediately, Andrew will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and not as a prince, and he will move from his Royal Lodge residence into “private accommodation.”

When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.”

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

Can't wait!

An invitation to the opening gala of the Epstein Ballroom. An off-white background. A thin, black border with inverted rounded corners. The top half is a picture of the interior. Very gold and gaudy. In black script in the center of the image, "The Pedophile & the President" with "INVITE YOU TO THE" below it in block lettering. Beneath that, below the image and with nothing but a simple off-white BG "THE EPSTEIN BALLROOM" in the same black, block text. Then "Opening Gala" in ornate gold script, same as "the Pedo" above. The remaing text is alternating between the script and block.
It reads:

Accountability centers, they’re like camps.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Make no mistake about it: This administration is trying to take away your ability to protest their new secret police force and even stand next to those who do so, and they are abusing the legal system to do so.
