The good news is he should be golden for the Cleveland interview. Thanks for the help. Still working on help to get him to LA.
Unfortunately, Marriott puts a two accepted transfer per month limit and he was not able to receive the generous points two people had. Checked UA, charge $30 transfer.
I might have to forgo One of my interviews in California secondary to the cost of the flight being $670

I’m still $230 shy for my Cleveland flight next week.

Will allow me to be one step closer to becoming a urologist.

Forever grateful! Please share

📣 WATCH & SHARE! This young girl (14) expresses in the most focused way what vile Megyn Kelly did the other night in minimizing a bottom line Q for those defending Trump:

"What is a child?"

Kelly's hair-splitting pedophile/hebophile/ephebophile is about *protecting sex predators*.

I normally don't post/repost anything about Megyn Kelly. She is - as one poster put it - a vapid c*nt who just wants her 15 minutes.

However, I'm glad that this young lady I am posting was given permission by her parents to post this 👇🏽💙 Spot on dear! 💙

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files.

A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

Speaking of Trump eliminating employment reports, has anyone else noticed that billionaires have stopped calling themselves "job creators"?

I’ve covered his hotel in Cleveland and he has a friend to stay with in LA.

If you can help in any way it is greatly appreciated. It’s going to take small miracles to get him through interview season while he can only save a small fraction from his meager resident wage.

NEW: Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, along with the family of Virginia Giuffre, have written to Congress — demanding members vote to release the Epstein files.

In the light of this, it's important to establish the relationship between reactivation of EBV (which, of course, can be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection) and the development of new-onset lupus.

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."

I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029

Still trying to close the affordability gap on a flight to Cleveland for him which went up with flight cancellations. Any bit helps as he has many interviews to get to this year. Marriott Bonvoy point donations also helpful - DM me.

What fighting back looks like.
Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week.

We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...
