Richard Strauss sexually abused 177 male student-patients at Ohio State University, with 153 of those being student-athletes, including 48 wrestlers which Jim Jordan ignored while it happened. Jim Jordan doesn’t want females in male sports because he likes boys. 🔄

If all of this gets buried in the history books, pass it on to your children until history can be corrected.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Well, I note things like: Epstein and Peter Thiel agreeing that the real money is made in monetising collapse and decay. Then, I look at what’s been happening in Britain for decades. And then, I ask myself: what exactly would people like Mandelson and Co. have to offer these predatory zillionaires?

Thanks for that!
I asked her why, she gave the "mission statement" BS.
I told her, "so you all just think the public is too stupid to recognize when a bunch of researchers are capitulating to fascists?"
"I will definitely pass that along."
