Hunter Biden claims that Epstein introduced Melania to Donald. She denies it, but frankly I believe Hunter over Melania. I think it's totally believable that Epstein introduced them and also that Epstein had sex with Melania before that.

Well it's Friday afternoon, shortly before the stock market closes. I wonder what the Friday surprise will be this time. Maybe bombing Iran, or trying to capture Kharg Island with Marines. Something will be announced in the next hour.

Let’s be clear. Israel is not “striking Hezbollah” targets in Lebanon. They are levelling civilian buildings so they can extend their borders. War crimes.

Anybody who describes mass killings as "bigger and better" is an evil sociopath.

"...looking forard to its next conquest."

Conquest?

So, imperialism?
Forever war?
The palms of you and your buddies greased with innocent blood?

This happened a couple hours ago.
Nothing stopping Netanyahu's wet dream of being at war in Iran with the United States.
He doesn't want peace and he doesn't want a cease-fire.
So the IDF continue to bomb civilians and kill innocents.
It's not collateral damage it is genocide.

IF TRUMP DIDN’T TEAR UP OBAMA’S IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT.

We’d have:

- $ 40 billion more
- 300+ fewer injured Americans
- Over a dozen fewer dead Americans
- $2.49 gasoline
- 0 U.S. bases severely damaged
- Iran’s Uranium capped
- The world a safer place
- A less extreme Supreme Leader in Iran.

You Can Smell It Now: The Trump Presidency Is in Total Free Fall

A loyal army of followers, a huge disinformation network, and a party of soul-selling cowards can crowd out facts for a long time. But eventually, reality catches up.

This is a terrible precedent. Future presidents who lack integrity can erase any previous legal convictions they want to erase, regardless of the merits of the case. www.cnn.com/2026/04/06/politics/supreme-court-bannon-case
