Look at this smug criminal piece of shit lying his corrupt ass off, Netanyahu belongs in prison along with the rest of the Epstein network.
It’s not official until the regime denies it, Epstein worked for Israel. Netanyahu is a criminal.

COMMENTARY: We all know McCuskey picks and chooses when he wants to support West Virginians. Do you remember his office joining other states’ lawsuits to defend programs that were cut last year, like AmeriCorps? Me neither. Because he didn’t, writes Quenton King.

One of the most crucial steps to removing the Epstein network is to cut off all funding and intelligence sharing with Israel. It sounds like a big task but the future of our collective democracies depends on our ability to route out traitors, spies, and Trojan horses. Israel must go.

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?
Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.
