I thought I kinda knew how damaging the Epstein files probably are - hell, I think most of us did.

China is going to treat the EU & other forsaken U.S. “allies” with tender, solicitous attention and care. They know that these countries still have half-an-hopeful eye still towards a post-Trump America.

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I know this seems to be an unpopular sentiment, but personal economic hardship doesn’t immediately lead me to cracking skulls as part of the solution.

Congress has shamelessly abdicated responsibility for like, forever, and acting firmly now would expose its decades of cowardice.
This means that we must have a new, young, House, free from the legacy of this guilt, asserting that an *authentic* House is now in session.

So... what are we going to do with this growing penny-rounding scam? We are beginning to be ripped off between 1-4 cents for every cash retail transaction that doesn’t align to a nickel.
