When all this is over, @realDonaldTrump will be remembered as the greatest traitor to America in its history.
Children in school will learn of his treachery as a warning to future generations. People will spit on the ground when they hear his name. His works will be torn down, one and all.

In 2018, comedian Michelle Wolf hosted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and was PANNED. Now, 8 years later, the joke’s on her haters: everything she said aged extraordinarily well 👍🏾
On Trump not showing up to the dinner: “I would drag him here myself, but it turns out that the president of the United States is the one pussy you’re not allowed to grab. He said it first. Yeah, he did. You remember? Good.”
On Trump’s daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka. “She was supposed to be an advocate for women, but it turns out she’s about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons. She’s done nothing to satisfy women. So I guess, like father like daughter.”
On vice-president Mike Pence: “He thinks abortion is murder. Which first of all don’t knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it, you gotta get that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want, I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion, you know, unless it’s the one you got for your secret mistress.”
On White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway: “You guys have to stop putting Kellyanne on your shows. All she does is lie. If you don’t give her a platform, she has nowhere to lie. If a tree falls in the woods, how do we get Kellyanne under that tree? I’m not suggesting she gets hurt. Just stuck. Stuck under a tree.”
On former press secretary Sarah Huckabee: “I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. But she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”
Immediately after the dinner, the White House Correspondents’ Association issued an apology — saying the night was supposed to “unite not divide” — and dozens of papers panned the comic in their reviews.
But dozens of comedians rushed to Wolf’s defense. Stephen Colbert, who was the featured entertainer at the 2006 event, said it best: “This is the correspondents' dinner, celebrating the freedom of speech. You can't just say whatever you want!" 😝
8 years later, Wolf has still never apologized. Nor should she! She got the last laugh 🎤 ⤵️

Life in America is paying taxes so a bunch of Christian nationalist Nazis can drag the rest of us into their biblical apocalypse fantasies.

When you give a lawless president immunity, he will act with impunity.
John Roberts is a piece of shit.

In 2016, I was the Clinton campaign general counsel.
In 2022, Trump sued me and others for RICO. The case was dismissed. Trump and his lawyers were sanctioned.
Now, he has asked SCOTUS to take the case.
I will never back down. I will never stop fighting. When we fight we win.

Pack now. Pull the cord. The bilateral relationship is too important for you to be there for this massive distraction. And it’s not going away, the scandals. And this is all your own doing. So for the sake of everyone and everything. time to go.
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle and the embassy she leads are under investigation by the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General, two sources confirm to NBC News. nbcnews.com/politics/trump-a…

Army followers will understand the unicorn level rarity of a Private being sent on the US Ranger course, passing that AND Jump master, then beating up AND outrunning an entire US special forces group is great.

February 24, 1969. Night. An AC-47 gunship, call sign Spooky 71, is circling over Long Binh, firing on Viet Cong attacking the Army post below.
In the back, 23-year-old Airman First Class John Levitow is filling in for the regular loadmaster. His job is to arm magnesium flares, 27-pound canisters that burn at 4,000 degrees, and hand them to the gunner to throw out the open cargo door.
The gunner is holding one with his finger through the pull ring when an 82mm mortar shell hits the right wing and explodes.
Shrapnel rips through the cabin. Everyone in the back is wounded. The blast tears the flare out of the gunner's hand and pulls the safety pin. The fuse is now burning.
The flare rolls loose across the floor, smoking, among cans holding 19,000 rounds of live ammunition. When it ignites, it will set off the ammo and burn through the floor to the control cables. Everyone dies.
Levitow has more than 40 shrapnel wounds in his back and legs. He's lost feeling in his right leg. The plane is banking hard and partly out of control, and the flare is rolling wildly from side to side.
He can't grab it with his hands. So he throws his whole body on top of it.
Hugging the burning flare to his chest, he drags himself to the back of the plane and shoves it out the cargo door. It ignites in the air an instant later, clear of the aircraft.
Spooky 71 made it home with more than 3,500 holes in it.
Levitow became the first enlisted man in Air Force history to receive the Medal of Honor. Today the top honor for Air Force enlisted leadership graduates is called the John Levitow Award.

This is the only known picture from Epstein’s “wild” dinner with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.
Whatever you do, DO NOT SHARE IT!
They'd hate that.

Who still carries out public executions:
The Iranian regime
The North Korean regime
The Taliban in Afghanistan
Al-Shabaab in Somalia
That is not the company we want to keep or the country we want to be.

When dishonesty becomes the culture, everyone starts finding ways to benefit. Corruption always creates more corruption.

Pete Hegseth wants to turn an execution into a public spectacle for Americans and the world to watch.
He dishonors both our nation and the position he holds. He is beyond unfit to lead the brave men and women of our Armed Forces.
He must go.

Billionaire cancer doctor Patrick Soon-Shiong told Tucker Carlson that almost every oncologist ignores the one number in your blood test that kills cancer:
“Pick up the phone, call any random oncologist, not to shame them, and say, ‘You do a CBC, correct?’ A complete blood count. You take blood and check whether you’re anemic or not.”
“And you give chemotherapy and radiation, and you ask, ‘What do you look for?’ Well, we look to see if you’re anemic, so we can give you this drug Amgen makes called Epogen. We look to see whether your platelets have gone down, so we can give you a platelet transfusion. We look to see whether your neutrophils have gone down so you don’t get an infection, so we give you Neupogen.”
“Well, the problem is, do red blood cells kill cancer? No. Do platelets kill cancer? No. Do neutrophils kill cancer? No.”
“What kills cancer? The natural killer cells and T cells. So in that CBC, there’s a thing called the lymphocytes. Do you look at that? No.”
“The only cell that is important, that kills cancer, and 99.9% of oncologists will say, ‘We don’t pay any attention to that.’”
Even Tucker couldn’t believe it: “Why, if you’re fighting cancer, would you ignore the one cell that fights cancer?”
“That’s the missing link. That is the key element in your body.”

These are the checks. And if you've never heard this story, this is why they matter.
In 1985, the US had an arms embargo on Iran. Iran was holding American hostages in Lebanon. Publicly, Washington said it would never trade weapons for hostages.
Secretly, it did. The scandal became known as Iran-Contra. The profits were later funneled to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, which Congress had banned.
Israel was the first link in the chain. In August 1985, with secret US approval, Israel shipped 96 American TOW anti-tank missiles to Iran. In September it shipped 408 more.
Someone had to front the money. That was Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi arms dealer and at the time one of the richest men in the world. The go-between with Iran was Manucher Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms broker. Khashoggi paid up front, and Ghorbanifar paid him back.
Now look at the paper:
August 17, 1985: a $1,000,000 check, Ghorbanifar to Khashoggi.
September 10, 1985: Khashoggi signs a letter moving a $4,000,000 check into his Monte Carlo bank account.
April 1986: Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), Monte Carlo branch, certifies on its own letterhead that Ghorbanifar's $3,000,000 checks were paid out.
Why BCCI matters: it was a global bank founded in 1972 that moved money for arms dealers, drug cartels, dictators, and intelligence agencies. A US Senate investigation led by John Kerry later documented CIA accounts at BCCI. Regulators shut it down worldwide in July 1991 in one of the biggest banking frauds in history.
Who ran the Israeli side? David Kimche, a top Foreign Ministry official and former Mossad deputy chief. Arms dealers Al Schwimmer and Yaacov Nimrodi. Later, counterterrorism adviser Amiram Nir. All named in the official Iran-Contra record.
Now the journalist. Danny Casolaro was a freelance writer investigating what he called "the Octopus": one network he believed tied together Iran-Contra, BCCI, and a stolen government software program called PROMIS. PROMIS was a case-tracking database, and the allegation is it was secretly modified with a backdoor and sold to foreign governments so US intelligence could spy on them.
Researcher Peter Osborne says copies of these checks were in Casolaro's files. Former Senate BCCI investigator Jack Blum says they never reached the Kerry inquiry, even though the police, the FBI, and the DOJ all had those files.
The Israeli thread runs through the rest. Robert Maxwell was a British media billionaire who owned the Daily Mirror. The allegation Casolaro was chasing is that Maxwell was selling backdoored PROMIS for Israeli intelligence. When Maxwell died, he got what amounted to a state funeral on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, attended by Israel's prime minister.
Now 1991.
July 5: BCCI is shut down.
August 10: Casolaro is found dead in a hotel bathtub in Martinsburg, West Virginia, wrists slashed. It was ruled a suicide. His briefcase full of documents was never found.
November 5: Maxwell goes off his yacht near the Canary Islands. His empire collapses, revealing hundreds of millions of pounds missing from his employees' pensions.
The bank, the journalist, and the man accused of selling the bugged software all went down in the same four months.
And that's the season Jeffrey Epstein walked in, with Maxwell's daughter, Ghislaine, at his side.

Trump team thinks it's a good idea to do public executions for traitors. Interesting, because Jonathan Pollard, the worst traitor we've ever had, was not executed or given a life sentence. He was flown back to Israel on Miriam Adelson's private jet and given a hero's welcome.
