For years, the vast network of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell operated with a sense of untouchability, shielded by wealth, influence, and a legal system that often seemed to bend to their will. However, recent events indicate a significant shift.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Reports of Israeli attack on Gaza amid rising tensions over ceasefire – Middle East crisis live
Reports of Israeli attack on Gaza amid rising tensions over ceasefire – Middle East crisis live
Israeli media reports come as Hamas and Israel trade accusations over breaches of the US-brokered ceasefire Israel has launched an attack on Gaza, according to Israeli media, amid escalating tensions and mutual accusations with Hamas over breaches of the US-brokered ceasefire aimed at ending the war in the territory. There was no immediate comment from the military on the reported attack. Israel identified the body of a deceased hostage today, after Hamas handed over two bodies of what the militant group said are deceased hostages to the Red Cross late Saturday night. Late on Saturday, the US state department said it had received “credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.” Hamas has rejected the accusations, calling them “false” and blaming Israel for sponsoring “criminal gangs” responsible for killings, kidnappings and looting in Gaza. The group said its police forces were pursuing those responsible and urged Washington “to stop echoing the occupation’s misleading narrative”. Gaza’s media office has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire with Hamas 47 times since the truce came into effect in early October. Continue reading...

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
