"So, wow. When we started talking about releasing the Epstein files, I'm like, this is a no-brainer. President Trump will just roll them out on a big cart himself. Stacks and stacks and stacks of the Epstein files. Because obviously Bill Clinton is all in there and Hillary Clinton. That's what I had been told all along, right?
"Well, it was the most shocking thing when I sat in a conference meeting, and I learned that the President didn't want to release the Epstein Files. I was like, what? Yeah.
"Come to find out, he was very much against it. So we kept on trying and kept on talking about it. And then the President told Mike Johnson, no, do not bring that resolution to the floor for a vote. He told the Rules Committee, and Johnson told the Rules Committee, no, you will not mark up any bill and in the Rules Committee that will allow the Epstein Files to be released.
"And the resistance built and built and built. He told Pam Bondi, don't release the Epstein Files. He told everybody, don't release the Epstein Files. So we persisted because that's what we promised. That's what we campaigned on. Transparency and accountability, especially to pedophiles. How is that complicated?
"So it got to be such a gigantic amount of resistance coming from the President and the speaker and everyone, the DOJ. I said, fine, I'll do the unthinkable. I'll go over there and I'll sign my name on a discharge petition that all the Democrats are signing their name on. Talk about crossing the aisle. Me, a general in the MAGA army, crossing over to sign my name with a bunch of Democrats. Yeah, I did. Because women were raped when they were 16 and 14 years old. And he was a convicted pedophile and we knew there were many with him.
"So I signed my name on the discharge petition. Oh, did I get my name on the naughty list then, let me tell you. That became a real issue at the White House. Well, I'll never forget it. I was in my office in the Rayburn Building and I got a phone call from the President and he was at the White House and he wanted to talk to me about the discharge petition that I'd signed my name on. And he said, Marjorie, you're going to have to take your name off that discharge petition. We can't let. This is a hoax. We can't carry this. This is a hoax. It's a Democrat hoax, and we've got to just put this away and stop doing this.
"And he said, my friends are going to get hurt. He said his friends would get hurt if we released the Epstein Files. He said, Marjorie, these are good people. These are people, you know at Mar-a-Lago, people in Palm Beach. They're going to get hurt by this.
"And I said, Mr. President, people have been hurt. These women have been hurt. I, said, have you talked to them? I said, you should talk to them. You should have them in the Oval Office. Mr. President, you have everybody in the Oval Office. You have sports teams, you have world leaders. You have Al Qaeda terrorists that are now leading Syria. You have Mamdani. I mean, you have everybody in the Oval Office. Surely you can have these women who were raped as teenagers. Talk to them. I talk to them all the time. As a matter of fact, many of them voted for you.
"That's what I told them. They voted for you. Epstein victims voted for Donald Trump and he wouldn't have anything to do with them. And he told me his friends would get hurt. And I said, not taking my name off the discharge petition.
"Because this crosses party lines. It crosses— As a matter of fact, it crosses all the lines when it comes down to victimizing some of the most innocent people in America. These were young girls that were teenagers that desperately wanted to be models one day. They wanted to be seen as beautiful. They wanted to be rich, they wanted to be famous. And, of course, every teenager wants things like that. And they were victimized by Ghislaine Maxwell and others.
"They were victimized by the richest, most powerful men, not only in our country, but in the world. And they were used by Jeffrey Epstein as sexual tools for his own satisfaction and his friends' satisfaction to actually be asked by the President of the United States to back off and not help these women. That's when MAGA died. That's when the entire thing shattered for me."
Traitor?
Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.
@cb_doge Nobody nor any other country will buy your equipment if you turn it off without their permission .what message would you be sending out from starlink to any any other country thinking of using your equipment for military or civil if you just turn it off without their permission.
There are some moments when you just bury your hands in your head muttering “What a knob” under your breath.

People ask me every day why the US government won’t regulate @BlackRock, they asked me why we’ve allowed black rock to control half of the nations corporations and to monopolistically maintain assets equivalent to the fourth largest economy in the world. This is why.
Hundreds of billions of dollars, the equivalent of 81% of the US federal pension is invested exclusively with blackrock.
The remaining 19% is invested with @StateStreet.
Dozens of members of Congress report having more than $100,000 personally invested with blackrock.
President @BarackObama appointed two members of Black rocks, Board of Directors to his national economic council, while President @JoeBiden appointed three, including one served as his senior economic advisor.
However, this is a bipartisan issue, Given that as of 2015, President @realDonaldTrump reported having almost $50 million invested with blackrock.
it is against the self interest of the members of our government to regulate these monopolies. Unfortunately we stopped requiring our public officials to serve our interests sometime ago and so this is where we are because we stopped holding them accountable when they failed in that endeavor.
Capitalism as a system of economic mobility is probably the best we have when it’s functioning in a true free market, however, capitalism as a mechanism, relies on regulation to impede the less desirable human conditional traits of the constant need for more power, greed, & self interest.
We have failed in that mission. It may be too late to right the ship , but I hope not.
Each day, I try real hard to break down every facet of the Ukraine war from every angle. From history to economics, to geopolitics to military capability.
I really want people to understand the conflict from every angle and I’ve attempted to make it as easy to understand as possible.

"This is essentially Russian propaganda coming from the mouth of the American president." - said Nesty and Gas, American volunteers from the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, "Khartia," who came to Ukraine last year to fight against the occupiers.
BREAKING:
New video shows Islamist terrorists killing more than 200 civilians in last week’s attack in Burkina Faso.
Some sources say the death toll of the Barsalogho attack is as high as 400.
Practically no media coverage. No student encampments & no protest marches in London
The problem with “Great Replacement Theory” is that it fails to address the foundational issue of low birth rates.
Record low birth rates are leading to population collapse in Europe and even faster population collapse in most of Asia. Immigration is low in Asia, so there is no “replacement” going on, the countries are simply shrinking away.
If this doesn’t turn around, then any countries on Earth with low birth rates will become empty of people and fall into ruin, like the remains we see of the many long dead civilizations.
