Trump’s dementia deterioration is really severe. He’s posting like it happened today that “Doctors have just reported” he’s in “PERFECT HEALTH” and he “ACED” his third cognitive test… Except he said the same thing over a month ago on Dec 1 after his fake physical. He won’t finish his term.

🚨 REVEALED: In Data Set 8 of the Epstein files release, which was briefly posted on the Justice Department's website today, there is a letter alleging to be sent from Jeffrey Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar.

The letter, which is postmarked just days after Epstein died, reads:

"Dear L. N.

As you know by now, I have taken the "short route" home. Good luck! We shared one thing . . . our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they'd reach their full potential.

Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to "grab snatch," whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.

Life is unfair.

Yours
J. Epstein”

The letter was returned to sender.

Reporting indicates that Epstein sent a letter to Nassar from prison before his suicide. The contents of that letter were never revealed.

Additional documents show that the letter was submitted for handwriting analysis, though it is unclear if investigators reached a conclusion on whether or not this was definitively written by Epstein.

BREAKING: U.S. Coast Guard forces have taken control of the oil tanker BELLA 1 near Venezuelan waters. The ship, registered under Guyana’s flag, is now in U.S. custody.

American officials say the tanker was operating as part of Iran’s covert “shadow fleet.”

This marks the third oil tanker the United States has intercepted since announcing a crackdown on Venezuela’s oil exports.

This sure looks like an illegal blockade to me.

@DrSarteschi One of my video collection has an interesting interview with survivor (or footage of those that don't):

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.

Today marks exactly 7 months since I tried to end my life. At the time, I had no hope that things would get better…

Turns out, I was wrong, and whilst out earlier, I couldn’t help but smile - it’s been bloody tough at times, but I’m so glad I stayed 😊

Content produced by AI is now appearing on the internet in greater volume than content created by humans, per Axios:

BREAKING: Trump MELTS DOWN on Air Force One when asked about Epstein — Screams “QUIET!” at reporter as panic sets in.

Donald Trump had a full-blown panic attack aboard Air Force One when a reporter dared to ask the one question he absolutely cannot stand:
“What did Epstein mean when he said you knew about the girls?”

That’s when Trump — the self-proclaimed “stable genius” — went into his now-familiar spiral of deflection, denial, and desperate finger-pointing. Suddenly, the man who once bragged that Jeffrey Epstein was a “terrific guy” with a taste for “younger women” now insists he “knows nothing about that.”
Nothing.
About that.
Sure, Jan.
And then came the meltdown.

Instead of answering, Trump launched into a frantic rant about Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and even JPMorgan Chase — basically grabbing names out of the nearest MAGA Mad Libs generator and hoping the press wouldn’t notice he was dodging the question like it was a subpoena.

He even tried rewriting his own history with Epstein — claiming they had a “very bad relationship for many years.” This, from the guy photographed partying at Mar-a-Lago with Epstein, complimenting him as “a lot of fun,” and surrounded by women that Trump later admitted were “on the younger side.”

Here's his full quote:
"I know nothing about that. It’s really what did he mean when he spent all his time with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers? Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. But he also saw strength because I was president, so he dictated memos to himself. Give me a break. You’ve got to find out what he knew with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people he knew, including JPMorgan Chase. "

But the real moment — the one that will live forever in the Hall of Fame of Trump Tantrums — came when the reporter followed up with the obvious question:
“If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not—”
Trump: “QUIET! QUIET!”

Nothing screams innocence like shouting down a question mid-sentence.
On a presidential plane.
In front of the entire press corps.

This is the same man whose allies are already whispering that the unreleased Epstein files are a political “time bomb” — and whose own friends have reportedly seen photos of Trump with barely clothed teenage girls on Epstein’s property.

But sure, the real question is what Epstein “knew about Bill Clinton.”

Trump’s meltdown wasn’t just embarrassing — it was revealing. He sounds like a man who knows exactly what’s in those files. And exactly why he doesn’t want them released.

America has heard “I know nothing” from Trump before.
He said it about his hush-money bagman.
He said it about the fake electors.
He said it about the boxes of classified documents next to his chandeliered toilet.
And now he says it about Epstein.
Which means we all know what comes next: He definitely knows something.

Please like and share if you think you know what he’s hiding!

@gator_gum Back in the day at the Toronto Zoo, I used to hold one teenaged hand up to immitant an ostrich in front of their cage.

They'd freak tf out, because they perceived my hand held high as, well, another ostriche, jumping and squawking.

It was amazingly funny, even 50yrs later
