Trump Administration Live Updates: Bondi Assigns Prosecutor to Look Into Epstein’s Ties to Prominent Democrats
In a social media post, Mr. Trump blasted Democrats for “using the Epstein Hoax” to distract from the recent government shutdown, and said that federal law enforcement would order investigations into members of their party, who he insinuated were involved in Mr. Epstein’s sex-trafficking of girls.
He was an opportunist paying and playing both sides for favors. Said so himself. He did say that were he to run for president it would be as a republican for so many reasons; none of which were particularly good.
I fully understand women wanting to leave the US. The government is intent in eroding their freedoms and right to body autonomy that were fought for in the 1960’s. Cannot be a democracy when you subjugate 50% of the population.
By the way, this is a great channel for accurate information. Belle took over the channel for her husband Beau a while ago. Great couple for good items without overdoing things.
Funny how you were talking about AI and how it could be used to emotionally attach “itself” to vulnerable personalities just the other day Bill.
As for that easy A crowd, there’s nothing like undermining yourself on your way to failing yourself. When will people learn that sometimes the only way to understand something is to experience it? We know that failure oftentimes is the best teacher one could have. Perhaps there’s a lot to be said about doing away with grades altogether.
And how sad is it that people have to pay premium dollars to go to a college where students learn basic, with a few enhancements, manners and life skills that I learned as a child and later in my home economics class in middle school. What are parents doing these days; raising wolves? One thing I would add to High Point if they have the space, would be a good 9/18 hole golf course with proper instruction of the game and the rules. I did saw where they had a simulator but speaking from experience, one can learn a lot about a person over a golf game. Our golf Cheater-in-Chief would be a prime example of a person not to be trusted in life or business.

It’s just another way to have a members only club.

Wow…just wow…enjoy your weekend…
Did you expect anything less? He is famous for deflect, deflect, deflect, anything that puts unwanted attention on him.
Trump learned how to deflect when he was a Democrat...a fertile ground of deflection ah don'tcha know!
Where did you learn?
Being in sales, it's easy to mirror whom I am talking to....you have been a great teacher in this very short time.
Ah, grasshopper…take the pebble from my hand. It is a deflection stone.
Yawn. I’ve seen funnier lines on tax forms. Clever just does not suit you.
He was an opportunist paying and playing both sides for favors. Said so himself. He did say that were he to run for president it would be as a republican for so many reasons; none of which were particularly good.
And…
Put a little effort into it!
One thing you are right about…only a little effort is needed to run circles around you.
You remind me of sparring in fourth grade.
I fully understand women wanting to leave the US. The government is intent in eroding their freedoms and right to body autonomy that were fought for in the 1960’s. Cannot be a democracy when you subjugate 50% of the population.
here is one of my favorite You Tube creators talking about women wanting to leave. https://youtu.be/OuN1EzUlU2c?si=DaFP5j7L7iextMRb

Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper during World War II who, by age 25, had 309 confirmed kills of Nazi soldiers—making her one of the most successful snipers in history.
I think of her—
Lyudmila with the flint-bright gaze,
twenty-five and already fluent
in the terrible grammar of war.
Her rifle a long, cold sentence
she wrote against fascism
three hundred times
without stuttering.
And still,
when she crossed the ocean,
the men with pens—
the cowardly little curators of gossip—
looked at her bare face
as if modesty were a misdemeanor,
as if eyeliner could outshine accuracy,
as if survival ought to come
with rouge.
This is the country,
I remind myself,
that loves a woman dead
more than it loves a woman unadorned.
A country that wants our lashes curled
even as the world burns
at the hem of our skirts.
Lady Death,
teach me how to hold steady.
Not the rifle—
I have no stomach for that kind of mercy—
but the sightline.
Teach me the precise breath
before the truth lands.
Teach me how not to tremble
when the agendas crawl out
of their marble offices
like well-dressed locusts.
I want your discipline,
your don’t-you-dare,
your I-see-you,
your I-will-not-look-away.
You knew what I’m learning now—
that history keeps trying on
the same uniform,
just better tailored.
That fascism comes back
wearing a flag pin and a smile,
speaking the language of law and order
while sharpening its teeth
on the vulnerable.
You saw it rise once.
We’re watching the dress rehearsal
for its return.
Because we are being hunted
by quieter things now—
backroom deals,
polished lies,
the tender little knives
of men who think democracy
is a paper doll
they can cut
to their liking.
Lady Death,
I don’t want to kill the bodies—
just the rot in their briefcases.
Just the carnivorous policies
that gnaw and gnaw
on the margins of the poor.
Just the sickness masquerading
as leadership.
Let me be
your daughter of refusal:
no lipstick required,
no permission slip signed,
no softening of the jaw
for men who mistake cruelty
for competence.
Aim me,
steady and unshakeable,
toward the center
of every lie
they think we won’t notice.
And let the shot I take
be this:
a woman who will not look away.
They’ll write about us too, you know—
how we wore our faces bare,
how we refused the makeup and the numbing,
how we became
what frightened them most:
awake.
