It’s reasonable to presume that a number of the boats recently destroyed by the USN carried no narcotics.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The Trump MAGA movement falls into a trap of its own creation: The global pedophile conspiracy myth is a MAGA pillar. The Epstein files were supposed to be its Rosetta Stone-concrete proof. He promised full disclosure. Now he’s playing “hide the ball” and his base is fissuring.
Dread is creeping into the White House as the Epstein story returns during the weakest moment of Trump’s second term, @JonLemire.bsky.social reports.
