Let me translate @jaredkushner.
A terrorist breaks into your home, occupies half the rooms, rapes your wife, kills your parents, and threatens to kill your children. And to stop the violence, YOU are expected to accept his terms and let him keep the half of your house — because those are his “red lines.”
The lost art of making peace deals!
Who's the guy who bankrolled Don Jr's wedding in the Bahamas?
Umar Kremlev didn’t exist in 2009. A guy named Umar Lutfulloyev did. Late 20s, Serpukhov thug, two convictions — extortion in 2004, beating the shit out of people in 2007. Taxi work, construction, ��security.” The usual starter pack.
Then he walks into a registry office in 2010 and becomes Umar Kremlev. Cleaner last name. Cleaner paperwork. Convenient.
He hangs with the Night Wolves, Putin’s favorite biker gang, and lucks into a friendship with Alexei Rubezhnoi — the man who runs the president’s personal security. That’s the whole origin story. Not a brilliant businessman. A guy who found the right bodyguard.
Rubezhnoi puts him in charge of the Russian Boxing Federation. Then Kremlev takes the International Boxing Association, the one the IOC kicked out of the Olympics for being a dumpster fire. Gazprom money shows up. Prize pots get huge. Everyone pretends not to notice the smell.
Meanwhile the real money arrives. Putin’s government hands him the sports betting market. His companies end up behind Fonbet, Pari, Liga Stavok. His outfit becomes the single accounting center for every legal bet in Russia. National lottery too.
That’s not hustle. That’s the Kremlin picking a guy with a rap sheet and giving him an entire industry because he’s useful and loyal. He even said it out loud: unlimited opportunities thanks to one person, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
So when this guy drops six figures on a private island and fireworks for Don Jr.’s wedding, it’s not “a generous friend who loves boxing and hunting.” It’s a twice-convicted Putin cutout buying access to the president’s kid.
Dear Muslims,
Please stop demanding halal options from Japan.
We simply don’t want to eat that way.
There are 50+ Muslim-majority countries where halal food is readily available. Surely, those countries are much closer and more suitable than this island nation surrounded by a distant sea.
Many Japanese people love pork, and plenty of us enjoy alcohol too. Honestly, Japan may not be the best fit for everyone.
Please understand that coming to another country doesn’t mean all your preferences will automatically be accommodated.
Think carefully about whether Japan is right for you before you come.
@POTUS@realDonaldTrump@TruthTrumpPost senile "leader" of the newly renamed United States of Assholes, again reveals his lack of education or intelligence.
Donald Trump: “They have their banks here, Bank of Canada, big beautiful banks.”
Buddy. The Bank of Canada is Canada’s Federal Reserve. It is not a retail bank. It does not have a branch in America. You cannot open a chequing account there, refinance a house there, or wander in and demand the manager. That is the institution that sets interest rates, not the one that hands out debit cards and toasters.
Bank of America is a bank. Bank of Canada is a central bank. One sells you a credit card. The other sets the price of money. Different job. Different building. Different continent of competence.
The “big beautiful banks” you’re thinking of are RBC, TD, BMO actual commercial banks that do operate in the United States. The Bank of Canada is the maple-flavoured Fed. It does not have a drive-thru in Florida.
If this is how you’re handling a basic two-word institution name, maybe don’t put yourself in charge of a trade negotiation. You can’t hammer Canada for “not allowing American banks” while simultaneously inventing a Bank of Canada branch that does not exist. That’s not tough bargaining. That’s mixing up the central bank with Bank of America because both names contain the word “Bank.”
Please stop naming institutions after hearing two words and assuming they have a kiosk. Next week you’ll be demanding we close the Royal Bank of England stand at JFK.
Lutnick: "If you are gonna mess with the United States of America and its economy and you're right adjacent to our northern border, it was really disrespectful. When you treat Donald Trump disrespectfully, he knows it. And that's what happened. It's just sad the way Canada has treated us."
Pete Hegseth’s first wife, filed for divorce after Hegseth admitted to 5 affairs.
Then, while married to his second wife, Hegseth began an affair with Fox producer Jenny Rauchet. Rauchet gave birth to Hegseth’s daughter in August 2017 while he was still married to his 2nd wife, who filed for divorce the following month.
He then married his 3rd wife (Jenny) who follows him around 24/7 to make sure he doesn’t drink or cheat.
He went from Fox News anchor to the top official in the Pentagon. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! And he spends all his time at the Pentagon, in a position that he’s ABSOLUTELY UNQUALIFIED TO HOLD!, bitching about beards, women, transgender troops, DEI, “wokeness,” fat generals, pronouns, testosterone and EVERYBODY ELSE’S MORALITY WHILE HE CLEARLY HAS NONE.
