So why wait to be sued? Why doesn’t Woolf tell us right now about the real nature of Trump’s relationship with Epstein so that we turn away in revulsion and horror?

[Conspiratorial Templates @mynamehear]

Every single Republican should now be referred to as "child rape supporter" until they take actual steps to bring every person implicated in the Epstein files to justice.

For example, "Maine Senator and child rape supporter Susan Collins."

🚨🚨🚨President Zelensky has released a very serious video🚨🚨🚨

''Ukrainians! There comes a moment in the life of every nation when everyone needs to talk things through. Honestly. Calmly. Without speculation, rumors, gossip, without anything extra. Just as things are. Just as I’ve always tried to speak to you. Right now is one of the hardest moments in our history. Right now, Ukraine is under some of the heaviest pressure yet. Right now, Ukraine may find itself facing a very tough choice. Either the loss of our dignity or the risk of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or an extremely hard winter – the hardest yet – and the dangers that follow. A life without freedom, without dignity, without justice. And that we trust someone who has already attacked us twice. They will expect an answer from us. Though the truth is, I already gave that answer.''

''On May 20, 2019, when taking an oath of loyalty to Ukraine, I notably said: “I, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, elected by the will of the people as President of Ukraine, pledge with all my actions to defend the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, to uphold the rights and freedoms of its citizens, to abide by the Constitution and the laws of Ukraine, to fulfil my duties in the interests of all my compatriots, and to strengthen Ukraine’s standing in the world.” For me, this is not a protocol formality to check off – it is an oath. And every day, I remain true to every word of it.''

''And I will never betray it. Ukraine’s national interest must be respected. We’re not making loud statements. We will work calmly with the United States and with all our partners. There will be a constructive search for solutions with our main partner. I will lay out the arguments. I will persuade. I will offer alternatives. But one thing is certain: we will not give the enemy reasons to claim that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, that it is sabotaging the process, and that it is Ukraine that is not ready for diplomacy. That will not happen. Ukraine will work fast. Today, on Saturday and Sunday, all next week, and for as long as it takes – 24/7 – I will fight to ensure that, among all the points of the plan, at least two are not overlooked: these are the dignity and freedom of Ukrainians.''

''Because everything else rests on this – our sovereignty, our independence, our land, our people. And Ukraine’s future. We will – and must – do everything so that, as a result, the war ends, but Ukraine does not end, Europe does not end, nor does global peace. I’ve just spoken with Europeans. We count on our European friends who fully understand that Russia is not somewhere far away – it’s right next to the EU’s borders, that Ukraine today is the only shield separating comfortable European life from Putin’s plans. We remember: Europe stood with us.''

''We believe: Europe will stand with us. Ukraine must not live through a déjà vu of February 24, when we felt alone, when no one could stop Russia except our heroic people, who stood like a wall against Putin’s army. And of course it was nice to hear the world say: Ukrainians are incredible; God, how they, Ukrainians, fight; how Ukrainians stand; what titans they are. And it’s true. Absolutely. But Europe and the whole world must also understand another truth: Ukrainians are, first of all, human beings. And for almost four years of full-scale invasion, we have been holding back one of the largest armies on Earth.''

''And we are holding a frontline stretching thousands of kilometers. And our people endure nightly shelling, missile attacks, ballistic missile strikes, and "shahed" strikes. And every day, our people lose their loved ones. And our people desperately want this war to end. Yes, we are made of steel. But any metal, even the strongest, can give way. Remember this. Stay with Ukraine. Stay with our people – and that means stay with dignity and freedom.''

''Dear Ukrainians! Remember that first day of the war. Most of us made our choice. The choice for Ukraine. Recall our feelings back then. What was it like? Dark, loud, heavy, painful. For many – terrifying. But the enemy did not see our backs running away. They saw our eyes – full of resolve to fight for what is ours. That is dignity. That is freedom. And this is truly the most terrifying thing for Russia: seeing the Ukrainians’ unity. Back then, our unity was focused on defending our home from the enemy. And now, we also need unity more than ever, so that there can be a dignified peace in our home. I am addressing all Ukrainians now. Our people, citizens, politicians – everyone. We need to pull ourselves together. Regain our senses.''

''Quit the squabbling. Stop the political games. The state must function. The parliament of a country at war must work in unity. The government of a country at war must work effectively. And all of us together must not forget – and must not confuse – who exactly is the enemy of Ukraine today. I remember how, on the first day of the war, various “messengers” brought me different plans, points; there were ultimatums for ending the war. They said: either this way, or no way. Either you sign it, or you will simply be eliminated and an “acting President of Ukraine” will sign it instead of you. We all know how that ended. Many of those “messengers” later became part of our exchange fund and were sent, together with their proposals and points, back home to their “native harbor.” I did not betray Ukraine then. I truly felt your support behind me – of every single one of you.''

''Of every Ukrainian, every soldier, every volunteer, every medic, diplomat, journalist, our entire nation. We did not betray Ukraine then. We will not betray it now. And I know for certain that in this truly one of the most difficult moments in our history, I am not alone. I know that Ukrainians believe in their state, that we are united. And in every future format of meetings, discussions, negotiations with partners, it will be far easier for me to secure a dignified peace for us and to persuade them, knowing with absolute certainty: the people of Ukraine stand behind me. Millions of our people, people of dignity, people fighting for freedom, and those who have earned peace. All our fallen heroes, who gave their lives for Ukraine, who are now in heaven, and deserve to see from above that their children and grandchildren will live in a dignified peace. And that peace will come. Dignified, effective, long-lasting. Dear Ukrainians! The coming week will be very difficult, full of events.''

''You are a mature, wise, conscious nation that has proven this many times. And you understand there will be enormous pressure this time – political pressure, informational, all kinds. Designed to weaken us. To drive a wedge between us. The enemy never sleeps – and will do everything to make us fail. Will we let them do this? We have no right to. And we won’t. Because those who seek to destroy us don’t know us well. They don’t understand who we truly are, what we’re about, what we stand for, what kind of people we are. There is a reason we mark the Day of Dignity and Freedom as a national holiday. It shows who we are. It shows our values. We will work in the diplomatic arena for our peace. We must act in unity within the country for the sake of our peace. For our dignity. For our freedom. And I believe – and I know – that I am not alone. With me is our nation, our society, our warriors, our partners, our allies, all our people. Dignified. Free. United.''

''Happy Day of Dignity and Freedom. Glory to Ukraine!''

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

An Open Letter to My Representatives: On Sovereignty and Betrayal

To whom it may concern,

I am an American veteran, having served in both the United States Air Force and the United States Army. I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is from this perspective that I am writing with white-hot fury.

Reports are circulating that the United States government is considering, or has agreed to, host a Qatari military base on American soil, specifically in Idaho. The justification being floated is that it is a "thank you" for their role in Middle East negotiations.

Let me be perfectly clear: If there is even a single grain of truth to this concept, it represents an unconscionable surrender of our national sovereignty.

The United States does not host the sovereign military bases of foreign nations. We are the guarantors of our own security. The presence of a Qatari flag flying over a Qatari-run air base in the heart of our nation is an image of submission, not of partnership.

The idea that we would need to lease our soil to a foreign power as a "thank you" is diplomatically bankrupt and strategically insane. Our alliances are built on mutual interest, not on real estate concessions that violate the very principle of a sovereign nation.

I demand immediate clarity and a full, public denial from the Department of Defense and the White House.

If this is a misinterpretation of a plan for increased training cooperation, then the administration must say so clearly. The ambiguity itself is damaging.

If, by some nightmare, this is being considered, then I and millions of other veterans will mobilize to stop it. We did not serve to see our country become a landlord for foreign militaries.

This is a red line. Do not cross it.

Respectfully,

A Former Airman and Soldier

HELL NO! When even Laura Loomer knows this is an abomination it sure as hell is an abomination.

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

WTF? Is this true?

Did Republicans in the US House seriously pass a bill to give US military benefits to IDF soldiers (Israeli Defense Forces)?

Why are American tax payers paying for foreign soldiers to have benefits while our own veterans are homeless

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Lieutenant General Mark Hertling of the U.S. Army goes viral with a BRUTAL response to Pete Hegseth’s deranged speech, says that the military “will not execute illegal orders.”

MAGA really kicked the hornet’s nest this time…

“But there were also soldiers and, well, all ranks of services, in that audience that said, wait a minute,” Hertling told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“When they were writing down the same kind of checklist that I was writing down, saying, wait a minute, we can't do that, or we shouldn't do that, or this is a true violation of what we are as professionals or, hey, I've got women in my ranks who are performing admirably,” he continued. “Why should I kind of lump them all together like the secretary did? Or I'm certainly now going to debate with myself, what am I going to say if I'm asked to go on the street and conduct illegal actions?”

During Hegseth's rambling, peacocking speech, he railed against "woke" policies in the military, attacked "fat" soldiers and leaders, and called for imposing "male standards" on all troops. He called for hazing recruits and said that drill sergeants will be allowed to "put their hands on” them.

At the same event, Donald Trump gave a slurred, incoherent speech and talked about using American cities as “training grounds” for armed forces. The event attendees were high-ranking military officials and generals who were forced to fly in from around the globe and the fascist rubbish spewed by Hegseth and Trump was a total waste of their time.

“And I guarantee you that the people in that audience will not execute illegal orders. We have been saying that for a long time,” said Hertling.

“But at the same time, all of them, not only were they personally embarrassed, but they were embarrassed for their services that had, you know, sit in that audience and listen to this kind of stuff,” said Hertling.

“That's the worst part of all this. You know, there's a saying in the military that's a great leadership dictum: ‘You praise in public and you discipline in private,’” he went on. “This was a disciplinary approach in public with cameras, so the whole nation could see. And it was an attempt at separating the military institution from the people that they defend.”

Clearly, voters made a historic mistake putting these MAGA freaks in charge of the most powerful military in the history of the world. Next election, we undo that error for good.

During shutdowns, federal workers are told to “do more with less.” Meanwhile, Congress still cashes paychecks. That’s wrong.

I’ve reintroduced an Amendment to end Member pay during shutdowns. Zero. No back pay either!!
