I called everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book.

What I learned about rich people, conspiracy, Ghislaine, stand-up comedy, and evil from 2,000 phone calls.

this is soooo f'd up. All to aide a Trump Humper.
Argentina is selling soybeans to China - undercutting Trumps tariffs, and could become the permanent Chinese/soybeans market.

When a secret president ran the country

All during September of 1919, President Woodrow Wilson became thinner, paler and ever more frail. Unfortunately, the president refused to listen to his body. He had too much important work to do.

the polls that rank concerns are pure bullshit.
I know enough of these folks; when quizzed on the "why" it's a stream of bullshit.

💯...my biggest concern.
Honest question(s): Bush's Iraq war led to (extreme) lowering of admission standards.
1. did the lax admission standards ever revert?
2. do you think leadership suffered in a knock-up effect (e.g. overlooking otherwise prohibited behavior to keep the buts in uniform)?
