Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that JD Vance should go f*ck himself for suggesting that Americans should stop griping "about the little things" like gas, groceries, and basic necessities.
Tone deaf jackass.
The Whistleblower Who Caught Howard Lutnick Lying About Epstein Is Dead
This is not a coincidence you are required to swallow.
The cabal of billionaire pedophiles tied to Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is not going to be fully known until the complete, unredacted Epstein files are released.
Simon Andriesz, the British banker who dug Howard Lutnick's initials out of the Epstein files and handed the mess to House Oversight, is dead. The webzine, The Banker, says suicide. He was 57. He had worked under Lutnick at a Cantor Fitzgerald company. He is the man who found the emails Lutnick would rather you forget.
Andriesz searched the Justice Department's Epstein dump for "HWL," because Cantor people liked to hide behind initials. What he pulled out wrecked the story Lutnick had been selling: that he cut Epstein off in 2005 after one look at a massage table. The files showed otherwise. A 2012 lunch on Little St. James with Lutnick's wife and children. Business overlap on a startup called Adfin. Epstein emailing the HWL account in 2018 to ask what he thought of the company's prospects. Lutnick told Congress that, to the best of his knowledge, he only learned this year that Epstein had been an investor. The Commerce Department's line was that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Andriesz's finding was that the commerce secretary had been lying about a child sex trafficker he stayed in business with.
A man exposes a sitting commerce secretary's lies and buried dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, the secretary is forced to walk back his own timeline, and weeks later the whistleblower is dead and the official explanation is suicide. Draw your own conclusion. Just don't pretend the pattern is subtle.
Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.
The truth about Lutnick will never die

Kazuki Takahashi Would've Turned 65 Today 🥺
Happy heavenly birthday to the hero and Yu-Gi-Oh! Creator Kazuki Takahashi! 🎂🕊️
Kazuki Takahashi created far more than a manga series he built the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Introducing Yugi, the Millennium Puzzle, Shadow Games, and the duels that would eventually become a worldwide phenomenon.
What began as Yugi’s mysterious connection to an ancient Egyptian puzzle grew into unforgettable rivalries, monsters, friendships, and battles that defined a generation of manga, anime, and card-game fans.
4 years ago, Takahashi passed away at the age of 60 after reportedly entering rough waters in Okinawa to help during a rescue involving three people caught in a rip current. He did not survive, but his final act is remembered as one of courage and selflessness.
Takahashi’s imagination transformed a story about games into a universe that continues through cards, anime, video games, tournaments, and generations of fans around the world.
Happy Birthday in Heaven, Kazuki Takahashi. The heart of the cards and the world you created continues to live on. 🃏✨🕊️
