HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

It almost goes without saying, but this is illegal. The name "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" is established by law and the board doesn't have the power to change it. 20 USC 3 §§ 76h - 76s.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

The truly scary thing here is that this family followed vaccination protocol. They were all vaccinated and the mother had the booster. Baby was too young to have gotten the first shot. But she still ended up getting sick and almost dying.
We're losing herd immunity to a lot of preventable diseases.

"At just 2 weeks old, Feleena Owens was struggling to breathe.
The newborn was coughing so badly, her skin turned a sickly gray-blue color. Her face contorted as she tried to gulp air. 'I think the longest she would stop breathing was about 10, 11 seconds,' said her mother."

Truly insane that the networks took this speech live after refusing to do the same for Biden in 2022
