Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

A new discovery has revealed gold-decorated iron lances that were sacrificed at a sacred spring in modern-day Boeslunde approximately 2800 years ago.
Iron weapons with similar gold decoration from this period are unusual and without parallel in all of Northern Europe.

Imagine being a goy and standing up and telling Jewish people they don’t know or understand their own fucking history. That Jews are ignorant and too uneducated to have correct opinions about the Jewish issue of our time that has broken families and communities. You absolute piece of trash.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

![I kept a running list of some of what she described, including:
• Kennedy has a pregnancy fetish.
• Kennedy "doesn't actually believe a lot of [the anti-vax stuff], which is actually the weirdest part." (This never made sense to me, as the anti-vax stuff seems to be the one thing he does actually believe, but Olivia's implication was that he just used it to appeal to a highly motivated political constituency to energize his campaign.)
• Kennedy's aides believed he was using drugs again, and Kennedy confessed to Olivia that he was using ketamine.
• Kennedy explained how the testosterone he takes had transformed his body.
• Kennedy told her that his phone had been hacked at some point in 2024, yet he was shockingly cavalier about it and made few changes to how he and Olivia communicated.
• Olivia believed Kennedy was a sex addict and that he was having multiple affairs, including with both his [REDACTED] and his [REDACTED].
• Olivia believed Kennedy had recently cut off contact with her because she was no longer useful to him as someone who gathered political intelligence.
• Olivia told me that she feared that Kennedy would "kill" her if he ever thought she betrayed him, and she assured him she would never do so. She told him that she would "take a bullet" for him and that she deleted all of their communications, which wasn't true.
• Olivia explained that Kennedy had told her he wanted to "bind, "subdue," "tame,"
"possess," and "discipline" her, and that these sexual proclivities for bondage and
"total submission" carried over into the rest of their relationship in the wav that](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:aupbnl6howyquklzdv2jy4l7/bafkreicfuelfp7hpne6b5ovmxmglxc4f4fv2igjuai7llawg3aev7s34ee@jpeg)
