MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

There seems to be an enormous increase in the number of butterflies this year but most of the birds seem to have disappeared. Who benefits? The worms. The worms are up to something, I tell you. Butterflies and worms working together with us humans trapped in between. And so it starts. . .

"Trump was secretly working undercover to take down Epstein and Maxwell. . . Wait. . . I mean, Trump knows nothing about any of it and hasn't been following it."
