“Why doesn’t X PERSON just expose the transnational criminal network on their own?”
Imagine you try to expose the Sinaloa cartel, you gather evidence, to release all by yourself; now imagine the reaction from the cartel if they find out you are doing this. The same goes with other crime networks.

At the dealership I overheard a man say "when I win the lottery", in the context of a needed repair, not a new car.
It's interesting that getting rich to some is about buying luxury items but to many the thought of being wealthy means security and never going without necessities. Both do motivate.

At least 17 Democrat lawmakers plan to boycott Chump’s “State of the (dis)Union” address. Every day that number grows. Plans are to hold an event on the National Mall to counter-program the lies, misinformation, and propaganda that’ll contaminate and fester within the Capitol building.

Ah Matt turn off comments.
Why?
Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election
d) All of the above?🤔

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

What a difference in literally every way. The remake doesn't even know what the original movie was saying, let alone see how it was trying to say it.
