The piece briefly touches on 14-year-old Jane Doe, who says Epstein brought her to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago. I wrote about that last month (link below.)

Dear Bluesky,

We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

Die Kernpunkte des US-Friedensplans für die Ukraine sind bereits mehrmals verhandelt, abgeschwächt und verworfen worden. Sie blenden die militärische Realität an der Front aus.
