Wouldn't it have been timely to include in this article that our new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is in the Epstein files? Here he is planning to spend Christmas 2010 with Epstein at St. Bart's - AFTER Epstein had pled guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. via @meidastouch.com

We had files released today that contained accusations that the President of the United States stuck his fingers in little girls vaginas, and it’s crickets. If that phrasing makes you cringe, it sure as fucking hell should.

So what kind of insane shit is the White House going to pull in the next 48 hours to try and change the narrative? I would think they’re not quite ready to invade Cuba yet. The tariff thing is getting old. Buckle up. Should be interesting.

Powerful statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world..."

When the Nazis came to power in Germany, they did so with only 37% of the vote. It was only after they came to power that German corporations rolled over for them. None of this is very surprising.

As Canada heads to the polls, let us remember: a polished speech and a tailored suit cannot conceal the looming shadow of extremism. Behind the mask of respectability, the specter of Trumpism waits to corrupt everything it touches.
In this illustration, Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre is shown speaking at a podium bearing his name, dressed in a formal suit and addressing an audience. However, his shadow cast on the wall behind him unmistakably takes the shape of Donald Trump, suggesting that despite his own image, he is ideologically or politically overshadowed and influenced by Trump’s persona and legacy.
