Today I witnessed what I consider to be a microcosm of much that is wrong with the world today. Two women were walking toward each other & neither bothered to acknowledge their fellow human being as they passed. My heart broke as each looked @ the ground & walked on by.

Boy it would be awful
if foreign governments did their own investigation;
and didn't protect wealthy child rapists,
while not protecting the privacy of victims,
like some other governments I could mention.

They never talk about the people we don’t kill! So unfair. Did I tell you about the small trucks and the waters? I’m very tough on the waters.
Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity.
Host: But it was 2 Americans who died—
Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters
Host: The waters?
Trump: The waters where we knock out boats

Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

(🚨) This is a personal investigation—after finding my name multiple times in the Epstein Files—that transformed into a novella. It changes how we must see the Trump-Epstein Scandal. It’s long, fully sourced, and harrowing.
And it goes places you’d never guess.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Obsessed With My Tweets Just Before His Death—And Now I Know Why
The new Epstein Files drop reveals that just weeks before the arrest that would lead to his death, Epstein was focused on the thesis of my 2019 bestseller, Proof of Conspiracy. The reason shocked me.

It's an AEW crowd and Brody King is in the ring so chances were good for something like this to happen but darn if it's not cathartic. Brody just finished off another fundraiser to help those impacted in MN.
