The disgraced former mayor of New York, Rudy (I was just tucking in my shirt) Giuliani, has threatened to sue me for defamation over an interview in which I never said his name. No one even mentioned him.
I want to apologize to Rudy. Going forward I will be certain to say his name directly.
Rudy, you worked with known Russian agents and their proxies to spread lies about me and my father. Their names are Andrii Derkach, Konstantin Kulyk, Andriy Telizhenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky and more. Kulyk handed you a dossier filled with disinformation. You flew to Kyiv in December 2019 to sit down with Derkach, then went on television with him to sell his bullshit tapes.
Trump’s own national security adviser warned the White House that what you brought back was Russian disinformation. You kept going.
Then Trump’s own Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, sanctioned Derkach in September 2020 as an active Russian agent for over a decade, for spreading the same lies you are still spitting. Four months later, on his way out the door, Mnuchin sanctioned the rest of your sources. Kulyk. Telizhenko. Dubinsky. Eleven people and four media front companies in all. Not sanctioned by me. Not by my father. By Donald Trump’s Treasury Department.
And remember Vienna Rudy. In October 2019 you, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had tickets to fly there to collect a hard drive, courtesy of Dmytro Firtash, an indicted oligarch who has spent a decade in Vienna fighting extradition to the United States. Lev and Igor were arrested at Dulles holding one-way tickets. You canceled yours the next morning. That was way before a computer repairman in Wilmington was ever a twinkle in your eye.
So please, @RudyGiuliani. Please, please sue me. Discovery will be a joy for everyone.
The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.
She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.
Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.
Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.
In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.
Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.
An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.
The United States asked Ukraine not to strike Moscow while senior American officials are visiting the russian capital, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Think about that.
When American officials travel to Moscow, Washington apparently has no problem asking Ukraine: Do not attack Moscow while we are there.
But just days earlier, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner canceled their planned visit to Kyiv around Ukraine’s Independence Day because of “heavy russian air strikes on the city.”
So why didn’t Washington simply ask russia: Do not attack Kyiv while American officials are there?
Apparently, the United States can ask Ukraine to stop bombing russia to protect American officials in Moscow. But it cannotask russia to stop bombing Ukraine to protect American officials in Kyiv.
Instead, Witkoff and Kushner canceled their trip.
This tells you something important about American diplomacy under Trump.
Washington repeatedly demands restraint from Ukraine while accommodating russia. It expects Kyiv to adjust its military actions around American diplomacy, while seemingly accepting that Moscow will continue bombing Ukrainian cities whenever it wants.
You cannot be an honest broker when the rules apply only to one side.
That is blatant hypocrisy.
Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): “I do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you are”
Elections in America are no longer about a preference between two candidates. They are about the ability of one side to lie, cheat & steal their way into power by any means necessary. Once in power, they begin rigging the system so more people like them can gain power. And so on.
Example: 6 of 9 SCOTUS Justices are Catholic integralists (they believe the Church should BE the state) who were appointed as a political favor to theocratic fascist Opus Dei member & Knight of Malta Leonard Leo—by Republicans who cheated their way into power.
—George Bush covered up Iran-Contra
—George W. Bush stole the election with the help of Roger Stone’s “Brooks Brothers Riot” and SCOTUS
—Donald Trump conspired with the Russians, etc.
The entire political landscape is a product of fraud built on fraud. The legitimacy of the current government is a fiction, a recursive, escalating lie that is perpetuated by both sides.
There are not two political parties. There are zero. There are the cheaters—and the people who let them do it.
The deeper society gets into this hole, the more we forget how we got here in the first place. None of this should be happening—and that really matters.
Sadly, I believe this process is accelerating too fast now and it may soon be successful in dissolving the government as we know it. It is more or less a weaponized husk already. They have perverted, distorted, or destroyed nearly every part of it.
The question is, what are we willing to do about it?
PS. Sorry for the blackpills today. It’s just feeling pretty grim and I want to be open about it.
It’s genuinely alarming that this isn’t dominating the news cycle. A senior White House advisor is calling for the mass deportation of millions of Americans based on their religion a direct assault on the founding principles of this country. This deserves outrage, not silence.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have canceled their planned trip to Kyiv because of “heavy russian air strikes on the city.”
Witkoff and Kushner have traveled to Moscow eight times for meetings with Putin.
But when it comes to visiting Kyiv, russian air strikes suddenly make the trip too dangerous.
Meanwhile, presidents and prime ministers from a dozen European countries have visited Kyiv over the past several days — despite those very same russian attacks.
This tells you something important about American diplomacy under Trump.
For months, we have been told that Witkoff and Kushner are trying to broker peace between russia and Ukraine. Yet the people supposedly acting as intermediaries repeatedly travel to Moscow, meet with Putin, listen to russia’s demands - and cannot even bring themselves to travel to the capital of the country russia is invading.
You cannot understand this war by visiting Moscow eight times and Kyiv zero times.
And you certainly cannot be an honest broker if you are willing to sit comfortably across the table from the aggressor but are too afraid to visit the victim because the aggressor might bomb you.
European leaders are showing what solidarity looks like.
Washington is showing what cowardliness and complacency look like.
Jared Kushner’s name redacted from the
Epstein files. Remember his wife used to go to parties with her daddy at Epstein’s mansion when she was 10 years old there was no way you could go to that mansion and not know what they were doing. They were 1700 photos on the walls confiscated by FBI
Jared Kushner is basically our de facto president.
Are all of you aware that Benjamin Netanyahu has literally stayed over at Kushner’s family house?
He’s having fucking sleepovers with Benjamin Netanyahu while he has no Cabinet title, no Senate confirmation, and no government salary.
Just Trump’s personal “peace envoy” and Board of Peace member who gets sent to negotiate the biggest deals.
And all of those deals have stalled so that Israel can continue to wage war on civilians.
It’s ludicrous.
Many of my friends have wondered how the American people will react if/when they learn that: 1]Musk fixed the 2024 election to get Trump back in the White House and 2] the Butler assassination attempt was staged so Trump could get that photo opp of raising his fist in defiance.
Who’s going to be the brave journalist that decides to cover the fact that a retired three star has been Putin’s general for a decade? Here are a few stories for you off the top of my head:
—Flynn engineered Snowden’s “breach” of DIA servers
—Flynn ensured Putin could take Crimea as DIA director
—Flynn was not fired over ISIS, he was fired for being a Russian spy
—Flynn created MAGA3X with Peter Thiel and a who’s who of white nationalists to run psyops on Hillary Clinton in 2016
—Pizzagate was a psyop recapitulating antisemitic blood libel that smeared Hillary Clinton, and Democrats at large, as Satanic pedophiles that torture children in pizza parlors
—Pizzagate was created using Kremlin-hacked emails distributed through Kremlin cutouts. MAGA3X whipped it into a frenzy.
—Flynn and Erik Prince engineered Comey reopening “her emails” 11 days before the 2016 election using “Pizzagate” fiction created by MAGA3X and corrupt FBI agents
—MAGA3X created “Q” for Mike Flynn
—Mike Flynn is Q
—QAnon is a Kremlin-backed psyop run by American traitors to build a fifth column in the United States
—Mike Flynn filled his defense fund and hired Sidney Powell with QAnon money
—Sidney Powell was never Trump’s lawyer, she was always Mike Flynn’s operative
—Flynn used the QAnon cult to stoke the Big Lie after the 2020 election
—Flynn tried overthrow the government using EO 13848, DNI, USAID, and a Pentagon decapitated and filled with his operatives. This was Plan A.
—When Plan A failed because the intelligence community wouldn’t cooperate, Flynn, Powell, Byrne and Giuliani went to the White House on 12/18/20 and decided on a violent insurrection of the Capitol. This was Plan B.
—During the 12/18/20 WH meeting, Trump tweeted there would be a “wild” protest on January 6, and Chris Miller, Acting SecDef, shut down communications with the Biden transition
—Mike Flynn was the “General” of January 6th, not Donald Trump
—Mike Flynn visited Donald Trump after Trump’s indictment with Vic Mellor who runs a paramilitary white nationalist training camp called “Hollow 2A” in Sarasota
—Mike Flynn is currently using Pizzagate fiction—validated by “Sound of Freedom”—to mobilize his QAnon death cult to mass violence
You’re welcome.
So, in other words, in an effort to lower beef prices, Trump is going to flood the US market with possibly unsafe, foreign beef and drown out US cattle ranchers, causing even less American beef to be produced since they can’t make up their investment.
Brilliant…
STAGED Assassination Attempt Question- Special Election Edition:
Two years ago, trump turned Butler, Pennsylvania into sacred MAGAt grounds with his STAGED Assassination Attempt. Two people were sacrificed to win the sympathy vote.
The lack of Security
The fake blood.
The fat-fingered fist raise.
The upside down flag.
The planned photo-op and MUCH MORE.
The perfectly packaged image that became the centerpiece of fabricated MAGAt “trump mythology”.
And for those of us who have spent two years calling BULLSHIT on every aspect of the official story of what actually happened in Butler have been told repeatedly:
Shut up. Stop asking questions. Move on! FAKE NEWS!
Well, Butler just gave us something ELSE to talk about.
A district Trump won by 18 POINTS just elected a DEMOCRAT. Brandon Dukes just flipped a state House District in Butler County — a seat Trump carried by 18 points!
A Republican seat held for nearly three decades — GONE.
Think about the irony.
The very ground MAGAts turned into a shrine to the Fat Felon just delivered one of the most embarrassing political warnings imaginable to his movement.
I’m not claiming this election proves what happened on July 13, 2024 was STAGED (it was).
But I AM saying something has changed in Butler. People are TIRED of the circus, TIRED of the cultism, TIRED of being told what they’re SUPPOSED to believe.
Or maybe the people who actually LIVE in Butler are beginning to see trump very differently than the movement that turned their community into a deadly political prop.
Either way…trump made it appear like he “survived” Butler.
The question now is whether MAGAts will survive what Butler just told them. My bet is, this is the beginning of the END for the MAGAt movement!
The Truth is the Only Escape! - JBT
Hey everybody. I did not prevail today in court against Mike Flynn.
The judge said that I am responsible for my own legal fees in a frivolous defamation case that Flynn dragged me through three years of hell for and then chickened out at the last minute—because he didn't want to hear the explanation for why I called him all those bad names.
Nevertheless, here I am. Lawfare works. There is no doubt that at this point our system is rigged to advantage the rich and the powerful over people like me. Just being able to fight Kash Patel and Mike Flynn in court at all was a gargantuan effort. And I wouldn't want to wish it on anybody, but I also wouldn't change a goddamn thing. I say what I say for a reason.
If people want to help, I'd be grateful if you would subscribe to my substack. It is my only source of revenue right now. And I do not have hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers, but I will get through it. I will figure it out. I've been knocked down out here before.
So thanks everybody for your support. I'm not going anywhere. Not until I can retire peacefully into the night knowing that my grandchildren are going to grow up in a country and a world that's as good as the one that I was born into. And right now it just is not.
Thanks for your support. Long live America. 🇺🇸

Alnur Mussayev, former head of Kazakhstan’s security service, who rose up the ranks of the Soviet KGB, claims Moscow groomed Trump under the pseudonym "Krasnov" in 1987.
In a Facebook post February 20, 2025, Alnur Mussayev wrote:
"In 1987, I worked in the 6th Department of the KGB of the USSR in Moscow. The most important area of work of the 6th Department was the acquisition of spies and sources of information from among businessmen of capitalist countries. It was in that year that our Department recruited the 40-year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed 'Krasnov.'"
In another Facebook post from July 2018, Alnur Mussayev wrote:
"Donald Trump is on the hook of the FSB and swallowing the bait deeper and deeper."
"Based on my experience of operational work at the KGB-KNB, I can say for sure that Trump belongs to the category of perfectly recruited people. I have no doubt that Russia has a compromise on the President of the United States, that for many years the Kremlin promoted Trump to the position of President of the main world power."
"Donald Trump, like an autocrat, like a true dictator, has stuck tooth and nail into the Oval Office of the White House."
"With his actions and statements, he is as if telling everyone: 'Yes, that's the mean I am, I break democracy, I declare enemies of my allies, I humiliate their leaders, I support Duterte, Nazarbayev's dictators, I make Kim Jong-Un legitimate, I obey Putin.' At the same time, he hopes that the US establishment will never go to legal recognition as its agent of Moscow influence. [And if he, together with Putin manages to win in this fight, then in the next presidential term, by appointing and deploying people depending on him in all branches of power and enforcement, he will ensure himself a comfortable stay in the White House]."
[REMEMBER - he wrote this part in 2018.]
In 2021, according to ANOTHER ex-KGB spy, Yuri Shvets: "Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset for over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow."
Yuri Shvets noted that Trump was the perfect target: "His vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election," referring to the 2016 presidential election.
We also know, from both the Mueller Report and the FIVE VOLUME Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Report that Russia did indeed interfer with the 2016 Presidential election on @realDonaldTrump behalf.
In March 2021, the National Intelligence Council released a report stating that Russia AGAIN attempted to interfere with our elections (the 2020 presidential election) on @realDonaldTrump behalf:
"We assess that Russian President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden's candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting former President Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the US. Unlike in 2016, we did not see persistent Russian cyber efforts to gain access to election infrastructure. We have high confidence in our assessment; Russian state and proxy actors who all serve the Kremlin's interests worked to affect US public perceptions in a consistent manner. A key element of Moscow's strategy this election cycle was its use of proxies linked to Russian intelligence to push influence narratives - including misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden - to US media organizations, US officials, and prominent US individuals, including some close to former President Trump and his administration."
What does all of this information mean?
It means — DONALD TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN ASSET HERE TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES.
