Host: It has been 1 month and 1 day since the Justice Department was required by law to release all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. By its own admission, the DOJ has released only about 1% of the total Epstein files. That's a move that puts them in violation of federal law.

Also, more generally, why do none of these reports examine Nikolai Patrushev's claim that Trump had obligations to the forces that helped him win? It is a fact that Russia helped Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Why is that EVER forgotten? tass.com/politics/187...
MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. In his future policies, including those on the Russian track US President-elect Donald Trump will rely on the commitments to the forces that brought him to power, rather than on election pledges, Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev told the daily Kommersant in an interview.

"The election campaign is over," Patrushev noted. "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

He agreed that Trump, when he was still a candidate, "made many statements critical of the destructive foreign and domestic policies pursued by the current administration."

"But very often election pledges in the United States can iverge from subsequent actions," he recalled.

Republican Donald Trump outperformed the candidate from the ruling Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the US elections held on November 5. Trump will take office on January 20, 2025. During the election campaign Trump mentioned his peace-oriented, pragmatic intentions, including in relations with Russia.

From MAL without noise Nothing has been resolved. Trump is advocating for Kremlin propaganda - says Donbas has to be decided on via “referendum or parliament vote” and claims “90% people would support it”. He also says both US and Russia have interest in Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. So same demands

Pepsi worked assiduously to create a "price gap" for Walmart relative to its rivals, in exchange for preferred shelf space at the largest retailer. It literally raised prices on competitors if they started to try to compete with Walmart. prospect.org/2025/12/15/p...
For years, Pepsi monitored the market on Walmart’s behalf, and when it would see other retailers dropping prices, it would respond to maintain the price gap. Sometimes this translated into additional allowances or special in-store promotions for Walmart, but sometimes it meant reducing or eliminating promotional payments for competitors and increasing their wholesale prices. “In other words, to enforce Walmart’s price gap, Pepsi at times seeks to drive up retail prices for Pepsi soft drinks sold by Walmart’s rivals,” the lawsuit states.

One specific example involved Food Lion, a regional chain with over 1,000 stores. It was punished for being the “worst offender” of Pepsi’s pro-Walmart bias. Pepsi then enacted a multiyear strategy aimed at raising wholesale costs on Food Lion. So this was not about discounts; it was about forcing higher prices at Walmart’s competitors.

The remarks follow the publication of a White House document on Friday that criticises the EU and says Europe is at risk of “civilisational erasure”, while making clear the US is keen to establish better relations with Russia.
