And again, like the Epstein files. What's Congress gonna do about it? Nothing. 'We the People' and our elected representatives have--again--been told to go whistle.

More of the same. So what's Congress gonna do about it? Nothing. No enforcement was written into the bill, that's why Republicans voted for it. 'We the People' and our elected representatives have been told to go whistle.
Some of the Epstein files are out. But most of what was released Friday was already public, heavily redacted or offered few new revelations about the case.
What’s missing from the Epstein files release
A lot of information that would help the public understand the case is still under wraps.

Vet here. As I understand it, the award is for injury sustained from enemy forces in combat, or hostile forces during a peacekeeping operation, or 'friendly fire' during action, or by an international terrorist attack against the U.S. With all due respect I don't see how any of these obtain.
Gov. Patrick Morrisey has formally requested that two members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot last month be awarded the Purple Heart, reports @lorikerseywv.bsky.social.

What bullshit. He's simply trying to gin up fear because it's all he's got.
If Russia had the means to 'destroy' Europe, they would have been able to roll right over Ukraine in three days. It would have been all over by 1 March 2022. Now they have been sapped by 3 1/2 years of war and sanctions.

The power to declare war is reserved to Congress. (Article 1, sec. 8). But an angry old man with an arsenal and nothing to lose isn't going to be stopped by the Constitution.
Cohen: Insiders told me that was supposed to be part of yesterday’s schtick—he was going to declare war on Venezuela. I wouldn’t be shocked if we see it before New Year’s, maybe even on Christmas.

Why I don't trust Wall Street, exhibit A: This man ran Cantor Fitzgerald for thirty years and is ignorant of third-grade math. (Or publicly professes ignorance, which may be worse yet).
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

The excuses change from day to day.
The reason remains the same: Epstein.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

This is America's attitude. Any oil, anywhere in the world where we could possibly get at it, is ours by right as Gawd intended.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Two weeks ago, I bought my Silkie chicken, Lady Marmalade, a friend. When I asked about her, they said she’s 'show quality', hence the $100 price tag. Behold my $100 show quality Silkie 🤣

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
