Her name was Isabella Stroupe.

She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella.

She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment.

Multiple broken bones.
St*b wounds.
R*ped repeatedly.

Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out.

Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe.

Months. She was alive in there for months.

Say her name. Isabella Stroupe.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Local police CONFIRMED the attack was targeted specifically at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear." He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside.

🚨 OMG. Trump SBA chief Kelly Loeffler just revealed the Biden admin ORDERED their staff to ignore the US Treasury's "do not pay list" for grants — and 70% WERE FLAGGED FOR FRAUD.

"That's how $14 BILLION got out the door so quickly!" 🤯

"They ordered SBA employees to take 4 hours per applicant and not any more."

This is criminal.

"Then we come to find out in the GAO report that 70 percent of it was fraudulent!"

"Now we, from day one at the SBA, have come in with a zero-tolerance policy on fraud. And so we began cracking down on it right away."

"We've already sent out 1,000 demand letters demanding that those who took the money – now these were not loans. These were grants. These were the federal government writing checks of taxpayer money!" @RapidResponse47

They LEGALIZED FRAUD.

Dear United States Senators (all of you):

You are not royalty.

You are not the House of Lords.

You are politicians, meaning your profession enjoys a public reputation below Mafia lawyers and prostitutes.

You do not have an automatic lifetime tenure.

You work for us, the People. We don't work for you.

The sooner you figure all of this out the less painful it will be for you.

Love,
CP

We still send $40,000,000 a week to the Taliban because the Senate won’t vote on my No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act.

Want to buy a truck? DENIED.

Want to buy a gun? DENIED.

Want to protest the government? ACCOUNT FROZEN.

This is the future under a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—total government control over your money, your spending, and your life.

Ban CBDC. FOREVER!

The Inspiration: Helen Kane was known for her "baby vamp" persona and signature "boop-oop-a-doop" scatting style, which she popularized in the late 1920s.
The Black Roots: During this era, Kane regularly attended performances in Harlem, where she heard Esther Jones—a young Black jazz singer and dancer known as "Baby Esther"—perform a similar baby-voiced scatting routine.
The Lawsuit: In 1932, Kane sued the creators of Betty Boop for \(\$250,000\), claiming the cartoon stole her likeness and voice. During the trial, the defense successfully argued that Kane herself had adopted her famous "boop" singing style directly from Baby Esther, leading Kane to lose the case

🚨 OHIO COVER-UP EXPOSED: $1.2 BILLION Fraud Scandal, and the Swamp is Trying to Silence the Messenger!

@MehekCooke did the right thing:
She called the Ohio Attorney General’s office in January with major evidence of a $1.2 BILLION fraud.

Their response? Threaten to subpoena her.

She then reached out to the Governor’s office.

Crickets. Zero response.

Now she’s blowing the whistle publicly because the system is protecting the crooks instead of the people.

🚨 NOW: Cuban exile in Miami gets SUPER emotional LIVE ON FOX over the Trump DOJ indicting former Cuban dictator Raul Castro

[Spitfire @RealSpitfire]

The Senate, under Thune's leadership, has passed the fewest bills of any Congress, is holding up confirmations in the Senate and has passed almost none of Trump's agenda. No doge cuts, "not tax on overtime/tips" severely gutted and still no save act.

[Independent @SeaSel]

@GadSaad Definitely. If you abuse and murder a child you should not walk on the Earth.
