Ah yes, the economic Golden Age of Trump where grandma goes without.
A screenshot of a tweet from “FactPost @factpostnews.” The tweet reads: “Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays: ‘Remember, adults don’t need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn’t need slippers. If they don’t live by you, don’t get them a gift.’” Below the tweet is a split-screen from a Fox News broadcast. On the left, a woman with long blonde hair sits in a newsroom, wearing a red blouse. On the right, a woman with curly hair and a green sweater speaks against a blue background. A banner reads: “TIPS TO SAVE MONEY DURING THE HOLIDAYS – AMERICA’S NEWSROOM.”

Reporter: Is it appropriate for your family to do business with Saudi Arabia while you’re president? The us intelligence concluded you orchestrated the murder of a journalist…

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:
When sharing her story with KBTX and other media, Turnage admits safety has crossed her mind, but she isn’t concerned. “I’ve got seven, eight very large livestock dogs out there. If somebody wants to get past them, good luck. Go for it, babe. You earn whatever you get after getting past them.”

#Trump #Khashoggi #MBS

⬇️⬇️⬇️
Bob Woodward @realBobWoodward I pressed Trump on MBS's role in the Khashoggi killing during a tape-recorded interview on Jan. 22, 2020: "I've gotten involved very much," Trump said. "I know everything about the whole situation." So what happened, sir? I asked. "I saved his ass," Trump said. "That's what happened." Saved whose ass? "MBS,” Trump said. "They were coming down on him very strongly. But I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop... You know, I'm very friendly with those guys." Which guys? The Saudis? "Congress. I'm very friendly with Congress," Trump said. (Rage, p. 227; The Trump Tapes, p. 190) 11:46 a.m. 18 Nov 25 49.2K Views

Kevin O'Leary is a self-serving douche who peddles whatever hurts others while benefitting himself. Many people in Canada seem him for what he is rather than what he portrays.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Trump's ugly attacks against female journalists the last few days have been aimed at those who asked him about the Epstein files.

He hates strong women who challenge him.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

And look what happens to people who know or say too much.
A tweet from julie k. brown (@jkbjournalist) reads: “This is why women who were trafficked by Epstein to powerful men won't go public.” She’s quote-tweeting Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews), who wrote: “Speaking on CNN, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says Trump's rhetoric is putting her life in danger.”
