Expats and Western tourists in Thailand and the Philippines have been complaining for decades about dual pricing at tourist sites and National Parks... And here is the new America First version. I hope they'll be equally critical 🤔
US National Parks to raise fees for foreign visitors to popular sites
Changes set to take effect on January 1 will include annual park passes jumping to $US250 for foreign tourists, while US residents will continue to be charged $US80, according to authorities.

May Epstein, Maxwell and anybody who try's to bury, whitewash or deflect these crimes burn in hell
Megyn Kelly needs to go into a dark room and listen to the voices of the girls from the High School Epstein raided. One 14 year-old called his penis a "wee-wee." Listen to the voices in this clip. They are children.

Facebook was a nice idea. It could have made Zuckerberg a billionaire without the manipulation, spying and scams. Being fabulously wealthy is never enough for these scumbags.
On average Meta shows its platforms’ users an estimated 15 billion “higher risk” scam advertisements every day.
