Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.
Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Ukraine’s cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is Canada’s cause. At this critical juncture, we are reinforcing our support with up to $2.5B in new loan guarantees and other mechanisms to help Ukraine secure a just and lasting peace, and to recover and rebuild.

So scary! Thank goodness for the Anton Piller Injunction.
The truth always comes out it just takes time. So sad that law enforcement enabled these abhorrent criminals for 3 decades, no wonder the net is so wide.
Here is a copy of the complaint, which describes how Epstein threatened to “burn her house down”

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
