For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

This can’t be. We’ve been told by DJT that he ended this war. Brought peace to Cambodia-Thai border war. Guess not!

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Meanwhile, Trump pardons ex Honduran president convicted of drug related crimes. So we will attack Venezuela as a narco state while pardoning another narco state’s president. Crazy!
The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.
And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.
But he needs a law for this?

Be ready for Trump to divert attention away from Epstein by starting a war with Venezuela or by some other lunacy.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out
