Yes, she really is saying that rich people making lots of money is more important than children being raped.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Today I learned that my first book, SURVIVING SLAVERY IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN, has completely sold out of the paperback print run. (Print-on-demand copies should be available very soon.)
Thanks to everyone who ordered or read the book!

Large containers of sulfuric acid Epstein had delivered to his island after being tipped off may point to atrocities that prove too much for the public to handle. There are mentions of murder involving Trump and disposing of bodies in the files. Sulfuric acid takes care of dead bodies, incl bones.

Seems like we are weeks away from universities touting "0 faculty members named in the Epstein files!" in their recruitment pitches. And in all seriousness, is anyone (Chronicle?) writing about all the academics who colluded and corresponded w/ Epstein in different ways?

Right now, it is not an exaggeration to say, Minnesotans are putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.
