MacFarlane: What did you make of the president saying he loves inflation?
Welch: It’s pretty bizarre. He does not get what’s happening with everyday people. This is happening because of the war. He made a unilateral decision to go to war. He said yes to Netanyahu, and he said no to his own advisers.
He’s flailing, and there are no negotiations. It’s really about the president trying to get a face-saving outcome so he can make the assertion that we’re better off, but we’re nowhere.
BREAKING: Republican Oversight Chair James Comer drops a BOMB on Trump by demanding that corrupt Attorney General Todd Blanche and disgraced attorney Alan Dershowitz testify about Jeffrey Epstein.
This is the nightmare scenario for MAGA...
“I’m communicating with the Department of Justice. I would like for Todd Blanche to come in in July,” Comer stated.
This move to force Blanche into the light on Epstein comes after former Attorney General Pam Bondi told the Oversight Committee that Blanche was in charge of many of the key decisions regarding the release of the Epstein files. In other words, he was responsible for spearheading the coverup.
“AG Blanche was managing the entire investigation,” said Bondi, who referenced Blanche nearly 30 times during her conversation with the committee.
It's not surprising that Trump would handpick Blanche to whitewash his alleged crimes with Epstein, since Blanche used to be Trump's personal attorney. This is the same Blanche who was sent to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell before she was moved to a cushy minimum security facility.
“Just yesterday he was saying that he didn’t think we needed to hear from Tom Blanche, and so the fact that he’s agreed to bring him in, I think it’s really, really important,” Congressman Robert Garcia said of Comer's decision.
“It’s not enough to just get Blanche in. We have to have Blanche under oath. It’s got to be videotaped and released to the public. That was our full request of Chairman Comer,” Garcia added.
The decision to bring in Dershowitz comes after Epstein's longtime assistant Lesley Groff testified before the committee. The transcript of her testimony has not been released, so we do not yet know what, if anything, she said about Dershowitz.
“Based on the testimony from Ms. Groff, as well as a meeting that I had afterwards with several of the Epstein survivors, I am going to ask Alan Dershowitz to come in,” Comer said.
“We will have questions for him and we will give him an opportunity to come in and answer several questions that arose yesterday based on Ms. Groff’s testimony and some things that some of the Epstein survivors said,” he added.
Dershowitz has responded by saying that he wants the interview to be videotaped "videotaped, under oath and open to the public" and disturbingly added that he is "very proud" of his time "representing Epstein."
Regardless of what these testimonies reveal, they are a massive problem for Donald Trump who desperately wants the country to memory hole the entire Epstein scandal. Every time a major development like this occurs, it surges the scandal — and his close, predatory relationship with the pedophile billionaire — back into the public consciousness.
The problem will only get worse for him when Democrats retake Congress, obtain subpoena power, and begin overturning every rock and releasing every redacted file.
Please ❤️ and share if you refuse to let the Epstein scandal die!
BREAKING; Bill Gates just told Congress that Jeffrey Epstein had sought to use Gates’ affairs in an effort to blackmail him.
So the question now is, if he did this to Bill Gates than imagine who else he did this too, especially Donald Trump.
Release the Epstein files now. America deserves to hear the truth.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.
BREAKING: Stunning new reporting from Politico reveals how Donald Trump and his team are panicking that Sherrod Brown could win back Ohio for the Democrats. This is amazing.
NASHVILLE: “If a data center project is not good for a zoo, it’s not good for an HBCU.”
Rep. @brotherjones_, students, alumni at @Fisk1866 U opposed a mysteriously-funded on-campus data center project shrouded in secrecy.
(His environmental racism class was abruptly canceled🤔)
News flash, Mr. President! We appreciate your candor in admitting you “love inflation” and don’t think about other Americans’ “financial situation,” but we hate inflation and can’t stand your illegal tariffs, taxes and wars. We’re sick of your economy for oligarchs!
It’s time to expose @RealCandaceO and her relationship with Russia for exactly what it is.
Not the curated photos.
Not the VIP tour.
Not the Kremlin-approved version she wants you to see.
The real story.
The hypocrisy. The propaganda. The money. The access. The sudden silence when it comes to Vladimir Putin.
Candace has spent years attacking everyone else, accusing people of being compromised, controlled, bought, or brainwashed.
Now it’s time to show America the side of Candace Owens they don’t know.
And trust me — they need to know.
Trump started a war in Iran without knowing why.
He then put in place a ceasefire because we’d “met and exceeded” our military objectives.
If he resumes fighting, will Trump explain to the American people why?
In 2018, when @HunterBiden was suffering the most with addiction, Joe Biden left this touching voicemail for him.
Sean Hannity and Fox News used this recording to try and hurt Joe Biden during the election.
"The DOJ’s position is headed directly into a buzzsaw in both Brinkema’s and Williams's courts. The Justice Department’s audacity does not match the strength of its position. And in both courts, the judges have every reason—and ample authority—to push back." https://t.co/q4HYIRFFOA
Remember when we were told pardoning Jan. 6 participants would heal the nation? One of them (Jake Lang) just got arrested on a terroristic threat charge. That’s certainly one interpretation of “unity.”
What would the collapse of Russia look like?
Russia’s defeat in the war against Ukraine could lead not only to a military setback but also to the disintegration of the state. This is most often linked to a weakening of Putin’s power.
In such a scenario, Ukraine would regain all territories annexed by Russia since 2014: Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, partially occupied after 2022.
A domino effect could follow, along with external territorial claims against a weakened Russia.
Japan could theoretically revisit the issue of the Kuril Islands, which it calls the “Northern Territories.” China could also raise old territorial disputes in the Far East.
In academic and analytical circles, different scenarios of Russia’s collapse are described — up to the emergence of around 20 new states.
The potential lines of fragmentation are ethnic, regional, and post-colonial.
This includes growing demands for autonomy in republics such as Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Dagestan, Chechnya, and Yakutia, as well as discontent in resource-rich regions of Siberia and the Far East over revenue distribution in favor of the center.
There is a risk of instability and armed conflict in the event of a sudden collapse. A key factor is Russia’s nuclear arsenal, which remains the largest in the world.
An uncontrolled scenario could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe and large-scale chaos comparable to the collapse of other empires.

All narcissists lack behavioral regulation. Malignant narcissists, like Trump, also lack any behavioral counterbalance. Because all positive emotion - love, joy, empathy - which offsets malignant behavior in normal people, is missing. They're a black hole, a void, pure "self."
