The main stream media is complicit in the destruction of our country and democracy.

Legacy media is a major part of the problem. Stop taking these outlets seriously as reasonable chroniclers of our time. They ultimately are all just mouthpieces for the billionaire class.

4/5 Epstein emails show Russia has leverage over Trump, and Bloomberg leaks prove Witkoff is helping Moscow influence him.
When the leaks broke, Trump backed Witkoff, the man he chose.

2/5 People keep saying Trump wants peace “no matter the deal.” They are wrong.
He has shown repeatedly he is in no rush and won’t walk away despite empty threats.
His goal is peace on Russia’s terms

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts.
The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!

Take a moment to analyze what Witkoff is saying:
TRUMP IS BLIND TO FLATTERY FROM WHOM HE CONSIDERS PEERS.
Everyone around Trump manipulates him with flattery, or warnings of treachery.
So Witkoff is coaching Putin (who already knows all this) on how to best manipulate DJT.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Wow
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.
And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.
