Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation.

It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

Jared Kushner is funneling $24 billion from Middle Eastern governments to back a hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery—all while advising President Trump on foreign policy.

Hey everyone

Does anyone know what happened to this triple murderer who Trump brought back to the U.S. and set free?
Trump is the one who let a murderer go free: Where is Dahud Hanid Ortiz, the violent triple murderer released in July from a Venezualen prison and set free in the US? This story has been forgotten. It shouldn’t be.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.
BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?

TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized

BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

COTTON: No, I didn't

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

The same man who was immunized from his crimes by the US Supreme Court would now be further abusing his power to declare himself the biggest victim of injustice in American history.

It’s just a brazen, stubby, vulgar middle finger at the rule of law.

"What they are doing is writing term sheets for a new power arrangement that benefits Trump, Putin, their donors, and their oligarch circles — and leaves the rest of us to live with the consequences."

They are bribing the greedy Trump to sell out Ukraine for a profit.

"It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.
