The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

As the world awaits the release of the Epstein files, I'm mindful that the information in those files contains some of the most humiliating, painful moments of those women's lives. This first-person survivor account is a tough read [trigger warning] but this is important discourse. Read with care.
