Now that Saudi Arabia has a deal with the US to develop nuclear power, will Israel be attacking sometime soon, after proclaiming that SA will have a bomb "within two weeks"? And will the US fund them to do so?

Fun facts: The UAE, those little enclaves of money & luxury, has a total pop. of 11.5 million & of those, only 12% are Emiratis. The rest are foreign employees who run everything except the govt. If they flee,the economy collapses & one of the golden calves for the world's greediest crumbles.

So Netanyahu got his wish - to use the American military & American tax dollars to fund an attack designed to expand Israel's influence and resources in the Middle East - and the dumbest president in the history of America was happy to oblige.

Did a single one of the politicians associated with Epstein EVER question the source of his income? Anyone? Did the lure of the potential campaign donations and other perks diminish due diligence? Why we need campaign reform. We are no better than a 3rd world country in the way we "elect" our Reps.

Notice how a number of men are setting themselves up with reasons or excuss for the possibility of being in the Epstein files. No doubt, the files are being selectively released to disparage those who are not Trumpers which is why everything except the identities of the victims,should be released.

Hilarious - Trump has decided against sending troops into San Francisco, allegedly at the request of "friends". Mmn - could those friends be the billionaire, tech bros who fear it would be bad for business? The money angle has to be there because we all know, that's what motivates Donnie.

Trump called those who investigated Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, "scum". Ulbricht was sentenced to life - fitting for the deaths his online drug trading caused. But Ulbricht had two things in his favor - he was not from Venezuela and he had a stockpile of crypto currency. Pay for play.
