My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

HET GEVAAR KOMT VAN RECHTS! Nederland herbergt nog veel,heel veel extreemrechtse mensen die het fascistische -, nativistische - en racistische gedachtengoed nastreven. Extreemrechtse mensen zijn mensen die niets hebben geleerd van geschiedenis, en politiek geïndoctrineerd zijn.

Pointing out non-vegans' victims often triggers a whirlwind of denial. 🎨 VeganSideKick
Four-panel black-and-white comic by Vegan Sidekick. A woman in a T-shirt reading *“Hummus is my boyfriend”* debates with a man holding a bottle whose shirt reads *“Shut up and take my logic.”*

* Panel 1: Woman asks, “What do you think about killing innocent victims?” Man replies, “Doesn’t sound very nice.”
* Panel 2: Woman says, “Maybe you would like to consider going vegan then.” Man scoffs, “Wow such emotive provocative manipulative language! Farmed animals are not innocent victims.”
* Panel 3: Woman asks, “What crime did they commit?” Man responds, “Sigh. None. But they cannot be victims as that word only applies to humans.”
* Panel 4: Woman asks, “So if someone shot your dog in the head, the dog isn’t a victim?” Man replies, “Yeah but that completely disproves my point, Jessica.”

Hegseths Shockingly Offensive Speech Raises Eyebrows and Questions Engagement
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has slammed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth following his recent speech that veered into controversial territory with offhand remarks directed at certain groups within the military community. In a speech where he praised various military initiatives, Hegseth's comments about excluding "beardos" and "weirdos" reopened debates about inclusivity and professionalism within the armed forces. The editorial board voiced concern that such remarks could alienate potential supporters at a time when the military is focused on boosting recruitment and adapting to new technologies in warfare.

Dear Pete Heg-Trash
​Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has repeatedly attacked anonymous complaints while presenting his campaign against what he considers politically correct military culture as a return to strength, yet there is nothing strong about creating more fear around reporting abuse, harassment, or misconduct.
