Curious if any email exchanges surface re Jeffrey Epstein's donations to a not-for-profit linked to Dr Bruce Moskowitz & Ike Perlmutter who ran the VA as shadow administrators during Trump I.

The 'narcoterrorists' executed in the Caribbean include a bus driver, a dirt-poor fisherman, a petty criminal, a national guard cadet, a motorcycle taxi driver, and laborers. They live in cinder block houses and make as little as $500 per run. None are members of a cartel.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

A mystery in the Huntington Town Supervisor's race. No one seems to know who Maria Delgado, the Working Families Party candidate, is & how she won the WFP primary. Votes for the WFP threw the election to the Republicans.
