I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

This CNN headline is fucking bonkers. The President doesn’t get to just order investigations and prosecutions of whomever he wants. Normalizing this effectively means the law no longer matters. All that matters is what the President wants.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Appropriate framing by the same paper of record that helped cover up Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.

Literally the “paper of record” knew about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal a year before Trump ended up getting elected the first time. The same paper that made Hillary’s emails the story of the century for months leading up to that election.

Not only was the Times obsessed with Hillary Clinton's emails while ignoring emails about Donald Trump sent to its own reporter, but since then it has constantly attacked anyone who dared look into questions of Trump's character. All with sanctimony.
Now we know it was all a big lie.

While a 50 year mortgage might lower monthly payments, it drastically increases total interest and slows equity growth. Stimulating demand without fixing supply would likely raise prices. The core issue in the housing market isn't financing; it's the lack of supply.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.
