🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie just exposed a hidden Epstein list.

He says the FBI has been sitting on files naming 20 more men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring — including a high-profile U.S. official.

And Kash Patel? Massie says he lied to the American people.

What if Donald Trump has only been picking people who he knows are in the Epstein files so they help him cover it up?

Why did he pick JD Vance, Kash Patel or Stephen Miller?

I am just asking questions.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Maria Krystyna Janina Skarbek, (1 May 1908 – 15 June 1952), also known as Christine Granville, was a Polish agent of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) during the Second World War. She became celebrated for her daring exploits in intelligence and irregular-warfare missions in Nazi-occupied Poland and France. Skarbek is often characterized in terms such as Britain's "most glamorous spy" or "Churchill's favorite spy".

She became a British agent months before the SOE was founded in July 1940; she was the first British female agent to serve in the field, and the longest-serving of all Britain's wartime women agents. Her resourcefulness and success have been credited with influencing the organization's decision to recruit more women as agents in Nazi-occupied countries. In 1941 she began using the alias Christine Granville, a name she legally adopted upon naturalization as a British subject in December 1946.
Skarbek's most famous exploit was securing the release of SOE agents Francis Cammaerts and Xan Fielding from a German prison hours before they were to be executed. She risked her life to meet with the Gestapo commander in Digne-les-Bains, France, telling him she was a British agent, and persuading him with threats, lies, and a two-million-franc bribe to release them. The event is fictionalized in the last episode of the British television show Wish Me Luck.
In 1952 she was stabbed to death in London by an obsessed and spurned suitor; he was subsequently hanged.
