Watch as Jeffrey Epstein sneaks out the young daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating.

Yes - he was in charge of Australia at the time, and allowed his young daughter to stay at Epstein's luxury apartment.

My analysis 🧐 why the US and Israel failed this war strategically all because Israels arrogance 🚨

No, the United States and Israel gained absolutely nothing of value from this entire operation, and in fact, they suffered a catastrophic, multi-dimensional loss that has permanently weakened their strategic standing while strengthening their adversaries. When you look at this from a non-centric definition of success, where you measure the outcome against the initial objectives of stability, security, and deterrence, the result is a total failure across every single domain. We must deconstruct this grain by grain to understand why the tactical maneuvers resulted in a strategic collapse.

Military Disadvantage and the Failure of Force

From a strictly military perspective, the United States and Israel engaged in a high-intensity conflict that exposed the fatal limitations of their technological dominance against an asymmetric adversary. The initial strikes, specifically the decapitation operation that killed the Iranian Supreme Leader, were militarily precise but strategically hollow because they operated on the flawed assumption that removing the head would kill the snake. Instead of collapsing the Iranian command structure, the strike shattered the centralized control and dispersed authority to the Revolutionary Guard commanders in the field, making the enemy more unpredictable, more decentralized, and impossible to deter through traditional threats. Israel gained no security advantage from this strike because it immediately triggered a massive retaliation that overwhelmed their air defense systems, proving that the Iron Dome and David’s Sling batteries can be saturated by low-cost swarm attacks.

The military reality is that Israel and the United States spent billions of dollars in precision-guided munitions and interceptors to destroy relatively cheap infrastructure and drones, creating a cost-exchange ratio that is unsustainable for any modern military. They expended their stockpiles of high-end ammunition to achieve temporary tactical effects on the ground in Lebanon and Iran, but they failed to achieve the strategic goal of neutralizing the missile threat. By the end of this engagement, the Israeli military is bogged down in a attritional war of attrition in Southern Lebanon, where their heavy armor is vulnerable to anti-tank guided missiles, and they are facing an enemy that has proven it can replenish its supplies faster than they can be depleted. The United States military, specifically the Navy, failed in its primary mission of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, which is a fundamental defeat for a superpower tasked with maintaining global security commons. The military operation proved that US carrier groups are vulnerable to asymmetric harassment and that the US cannot impose its will through sheer firepower when the opponent is willing to absorb damage and inflict economic pain on the global system.

**Political Collapse and Diplomatic Isolation**🚨🚨🚨

In the political domain, the losses are even more severe because the conflict has shattered the diplomatic architecture that the United States and Israel have spent decades building. The "Abraham Accords," which were supposed to be the cornerstone of a new regional alliance against Iran, are effectively dead because the operation proved that the United States cannot protect its Arab partners from Iranian retaliation. When Iran fired ballistic missiles at Kuwait and hit the international airport, it sent a definitive political message to every Gulf state that normalization with Israel makes them a target and that the American security umbrella is full of holes. The political gain that Israel hoped for normalization and integration into the Middle East has been replaced by extreme fear and isolation, as Arab states now realize that aligning with Washington and Tel Aviv brings existential danger without any guarantee of safety.

For a least a few good weeks now.

His heart is already struggling to pump
And his dementia makes him a horrible pt
He drinks a dozen cokes a day 🤨

President Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. That means it has now been one week since he has appeared publicly for anything besides a pre-taped interview. His last public event was his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, one day after his trip to Walter Reed.

[Paolo Mossetti @paolomossetti]

Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:

"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."

Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.

Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.

It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".

Bari Weiss and her wife are in the Epstein files. Weiss’s wife was VERY close to Epstein, so much so that she shared with Epstein her first encounter with. See her wife’s enthusiasm to meet Epstein here. In 2018. When everyone already knew he was a pedophile.

Did you know that Mad Max: Fury Road started production in the 90s?

Artist Peter Pound began developing concept art and storyboards for the film long before its release, working on the project since the late 90s and creating more than 950 storyboard frames for the movie directed by George Miller.

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?

BLANCHE: We have complied with the law

DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it

*the time of the gentlelady has expired*

DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.

The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.

A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.

That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.

If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

[WTFGOP @doggintrump]

So they’re about to jump ship and hide out on their own private island with all the money that Trump has stolen from us while he’s president because they know if they stay in the United States they will be prosecuted like everyone else in their orbit
