Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

Regarding the Epstein files: the recklessness (or sinister calculation) of Trump's dirty DOJ leadership in redacting the names of the perpetrators while disclosing the names of the victims will backfire spectacularly:

The United States and Israeli regimes were booed by the rest of the world at the Winter Olympics this week.
The lesson is, you can buy up all the media platforms to push your propaganda and favored narratives…
…but the world will still see you for who you truly are.

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

We’re here because tens of millions of people with whom we share this beautiful land have deemed every single bit of moral filth that has erupted from within his dead and blackened heart acceptable...

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs.
In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications.
One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board.
Funny how that works.

The United States Navy Secretary John Phelan’s name shows up in the Epstein flight logs. It's a fact that demands daylight. When senior officials appear in records tied to a criminal network...silence isn’t neutral. Transparency isn’t optional.
