We're headed into the holiday season, so two things to know:
- The only items in the store that are more expensive due to tariffs are: two leather bookmarks. The other 2,100 gift items and 47,000 books haven't gone up. thehauntedbookshop.com
- A trip to a local bookshop is a present in itself 📚❤️

Pretend there’s a war on (there isn’t).
Pretend drug traffickers are terrorists (they’re not).
Pretend overdoses are armed foreign attacks (they’re not).
Pretend “the president says so” means Congress has no role (it doesn’t).
Voila, legal. When factual reality is irrelevant, any law can apply.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has stated that the US air strikes on “alleged” drug smuggling boats will be treated under international law as crimes against humanity.

What's the difference between a 50 year mortgage and indentured servitude? (Does anyone know? I don't.)

If Epstein hadn’t been in prison, he probably would’ve fallen out a window or down a flight of stairs instead

I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.

As more information comes out, the story of Epstein's "suicide" becomes more questionable.

AAAHHHhhhhh, there's the rub ... ...
I fail to understand why the release of the Epstein files is a problem.
Just release them, it will be done. It will go away.
....unless he's in them.

The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”

Let's talk about books and the public trust.

About 30 % of the nation is still trying to pretend Trump is their god. As soon as really bad Epstein information comes out involving Trump they just normalize it. Half of the Christian Nationalist movement have had fathers and pastors who committed or covered up the same crimes as Trump.

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

Congrats to Rep. Adelita Grijalva on finally being sworn in!
Grateful to have her join our caucus, to champion environmental justice, and push for transparency as the 218th signature on the discharge petition for the Epstein files.

The fact that this regime is internally revolting over a policy sold with a literal poster board proves this is a clown car careening toward a cliff, where even the sycophants recognize the sheer idiocy of their leader's unvetted whims.
Trump Allies 'Revolting' Over 50 Year Mortgages: Report
Daily Caller's Reagan Reese reported that Trump "allies" are "revolting" over Trump being talked into a 50-year mortgage plan that wasn't properly "vetted."
