Something that keeps sticking with me. I spent a decade and a half as a reserve with the DC Metropolitan Police Department. If you ever deployed OC pepper spray on the streets of Washington, DC, that was a use of force. Full stop. You wrote it up.

Note: Denmark has a global monopoly on Botox, Ozempic, and Maersk shipping lines. Imagine what they could do to spite Americans. Better to be good allies and trading partners than to declare war.

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

Here’s an idea. First track the billionaires and their foreign tax shelters.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."
