"A new report from ProPublica revealing two of Trump's own mortgages match his description of mortgage fraud... It sounds like the standard the president and his administration have used to go after his political enemies, including NY AG Letitia James, Lisa Cook, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell."

It will be a Christmas miracle if the Epstein files are released before the December 19th deadline - so far the DOJ is making this release as messy as possible. Read my analysis in The Red Letter at the LINK in BIO.

"Over and over this year, DHS has assaulted opponents of ICE and then charged them for it. And these Signal texts sure seem to support that they knowingly did the same thing with Congresswoman McIver.

The Post analyzed TikTok watch histories provided to it by 1,100 users. The data illustrates "the platform’s power to show you what you might want, and also reveals vast oceans of content you may never see —and perhaps don’t know exist." One finding: gender plays a big role in what videos are shown.

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.
