NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.

30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Rebecca was sold into sexual slavery before she could walk. Her father - a Lockheed Martin contractor with CIA connections - gave her to a man she calls "Mr. E" as a newborn baby. Mr. E ran a child pornography ring, and Rebecca became his product. From birth to age seven, she was drugged with ketamine, flown across the country, and passed between groups of men who filmed themselves doing things to her that would make a courtroom go silent.

Her mother wasn't a victim in this. Her mother was part of it. She beat Rebecca unconscious and sexually abused her herself. The woman who gave birth to her helped deliver her into hell.

In the interview, Rebecca says it out loud, and the room stops breathing. They violated her with objects. They shoved a loaded gun in her mouth. They forced a loaded gun inside her body. She was three. They filmed everything.

But that's not the detail that breaks her. She watched children die. During these filmed sessions, other kids were murdered in front of her. Their deaths were turned into content - sexualized, recorded, distributed. And after, the men would look down at her and say: if you ever tell anyone what happened here, you're next.

They choked her until she passed out. They suffocated her until her body stopped fighting. They dragged her to the edge of death again and again because watching a child almost die was entertainment to them. She says she learned what dying felt like before she learned how to read.

At seven, they threw her away. She wasn't rescued. No one came for her. She simply got too old for their taste. Seven years old and already used up.

She's 53 now. Fifty years later, and not one person from that network has been investigated. She looks into the camera and asks the only question that matters - how did every single one of them walk free?

This woman spent half a century carrying the memory of children being killed in front of her. She was drugged, filmed, violated with weapons, and discarded before she understood what a childhood was supposed to look like. And the people who did it? They're still out there. Living normal lives. Untouched.

This is huge.

A sitting member of Congress is now saying, on the record, that Epstein’s entire trafficking operation depended on billionaire money — and that Les Wexner was central to it.

No island. No planes. No network. No trafficking — without elite financing.

Follow the money. Expose the cover-up.
No more protection for billionaires.

BREAKING: Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of health care, who reports to him, according to 5 people who worked at Nvidia, The New York Times reports.

Jensen Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, were filmed being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia's conference in March, 2 of those people told the paper.

The Times has not seen the video. 3 people briefed on the incident said Jensen’s security sequestered the bystander who filmed it and offered a nondisclosure agreement.

Asked about Powell, Jensen told the Times, "I don't think you should be talking to me directly," and hung up. Nvidia declined to comment. Powell did not immediately respond.

Nvidia shares fell more than 3% after hours, CNBC reported.

It lands days after Jensen admitted an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, according to the Times.

China denies the claims.

Nvidia's board already has Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz investigating that relationship.

The first story was a security question. This one is a governance question, and boards have answered it before.

In June 2018 Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich resigned after counsel confirmed a past consensual relationship with an employee broke a policy covering all managers.

Nvidia's code of conduct tells staff to avoid conflicts including "personal relationships". The reporting line and the nondisclosure offer are now on the board's desk.

My call is that Jensen Huang is still chief executive when Nvidia reports results on 17th November, US time.

Nvidia has said he stays in the role during the review, and Intel acted only after counsel confirmed a breach. I am wrong if Jensen resigns, is removed or goes on leave before the results release.

Hopefully this report is just the beginning. Epstein assistant Leslie Groff, the committee said, was “not credible” — and two former federal prosecutors in South Florida — Matthew Menchel and Bruce Reinhart, who is now a judge, likely helped Epstein evade prosecution.

Some thoughts regarding the talks between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia in Abu Dhabi.

1. Ending the war in Ukraine: Unlikely. Ukraine should not and is unlikely to formally surrender territory to Russia. Moscow will continue its military campaign because it believes time is on its side and that sustained military pressure and attacks on civilian infrastructure will eventually weaken Ukrainian resistance. Kyiv, meanwhile, may calculate that Trump is a lame-duck president and that holding out until 2029 could produce a more sympathetic administration in Washington. Although a Democratic victory in 2028 is far from certain, Ukraine has good reason to believe that the political environment could eventually become more favorable.

2. Postwar security guarantees: Ukraine has little reason to trust security assurances offered by the United States under Trump, whose foreign policy has been inconsistent and unpredictable. Any meaningful settlement would require credible, enforceable security guarantees, at a minimum comparable to NATO's Article 5 commitments. These would likely need to involve NATO members directly, potentially including the permanent stationing of troops, air defense systems, and military equipment in Ukraine. The difficulty is that the guarantees Kyiv would consider credible are precisely those Moscow is likely to reject.

3. De-escalation measures: Substantial progress is unlikely. Meaningful de-escalation would require reciprocal concessions, potentially including troop withdrawals, restrictions on military operations, or an end to attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure. Neither side currently appears willing to make significant concessions that could compromise its military position. Limited arrangements concerning particular targets or geographic areas are conceivable, but a broader ceasefire remains improbable.

4. A broader European security framework: Largely meaningless without full European participation. The United States and Russia cannot legitimately negotiate the future of Europe's security architecture on behalf of European countries. Any agreement affecting NATO deployments, European defense arrangements, or the sovereignty of individual European states would require their direct participation and consent. Allowing Moscow to use the war in Ukraine as an opportunity to renegotiate Europe's security arrangements would also risk rewarding Russian aggression.

5. Humanitarian issues: This is probably the one area where meaningful progress is possible. Prisoner-of-war exchanges, the repatriation of remains, and the return of Ukrainian children forcibly transferred to Russia could produce tangible agreements. Such outcomes would be worthwhile regardless of whether the broader negotiations succeed.

6. Trump will announce a peace deal like no other in history.

My conclusion: These talks are likely to be an abject failure, producing little or no meaningful progress toward peace. Russia and Ukraine have fundamentally incompatible objectives, and neither currently appears to believe that continued fighting is less advantageous than a negotiated settlement.

Compounding the problem is the choice of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as the principal American negotiators. Both come primarily from real estate and finance, and neither has the depth of diplomatic, military, or geopolitical expertise that negotiations of this complexity demand. More troubling are their commercial connections and discussions with Russian interests, including negotiations over potential business arrangements involving Russia. They are far from independent and impartial and almost certainly lack credibility as negotiators.

“Trump would also not think twice about throwing his own kids under the bus when the inevitable congressional investigations and hearings begin.

I know from personal experience that deep down he despises Don Jr. and laments Eric’s gangly homeliness (he and Tiffany were given the least amount of on-camera time during ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ finales because he didn’t like what their looks said about the brand).

Vanky was his favorite because he fashioned her looks to suit his own tastes beginning in her teens. Many a Manhattan plastic surgeon earned a Hampton’s summer house fashioning Vanky into Trump’s ideal blonde Barbie.

Of course, as a pederast at heart he began to lose interest as she aged.
At sixteen she was hosting ‘Miss Teen USA’ pageants, essentially serving as his wingman to find her own replacement. If you believe this is too outlandish or unseemly, read some testimonials from survivors of his sexual predation.

Many of which still continue to be ignored by the mainstream media.

The weekend before the election another brave survivor spoke out publicly and her detailed testimony matched exactly the experiences of my friend who Trump began grooming at his Central Park ice rink when she was twelve years old.

As a teenager she spent time with him in Epstein’s East 71st Street townhouse and her descriptions of the criminality match the testimony of so many other brave women who have come forward.

This is not the time for reconciliation or to play nice but to seek long overdue justice.” https://t.co/zacjcjw6hb
