Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Epstein brought 3 girls to meet Musk at SpaceX. If you're not a US citizen, you need to show your passport when entering SpaceX (LEFT).
The fact that the 3 girls had to show their passports (RIGHT) implies that (a) they were foreigners, or (b) they were underage without gov't IDs.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Personally, I think that anyone who was sending friendly emails back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein or attending events with him post-2008 should be thrown into an active volcano.

No legitimate government would allow what is taking place in the US.
We need to really get serious about removals.
They're ignoring the constitution, the very most important duty they have is to uphold and protect it.
Crimes against humanity, harming the innocent.
How do you justify that?!

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
