NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:
President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.
According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
“This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”
In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.
Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran
In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.
Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.
Let’s recap the global fallout from the Epstein files so far:
The files Trump repeatedly called a hoax and what the DOJ remains reluctant to investigate.
Over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images from Epstein’s devices, estate, flight logs, emails, photos, and investigations.
There’s more, but the DOJ refuses to release it, in defiance of the law passed by Congress.
10+ countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland, Slovakia
Turkey - Prosecutors reviewing allegations of trafficking Turkish children
UK - criminal inquiry into Peter Mandelson (fmr labor ambassador to the US) for potential misconduct in public office and leaked information. PM Starmer in trouble for appointing Mandelson. He’s facing calls to resign. Andrew (stripped of royal titles) also facing police inquiries.
Poland - investigations into trafficking of Polish girls and links to broader networks
Lithuania - Prosecutors investigating human trafficking after reports of Lithuanian models named in the files
Norway - Crown Princess Mette-Marit publicly apologized for her ties to Epstein. Ex-PM Thorbjørn Jagland lost immunity for a corruption probe. Ex-ambassador Mona Juul resigned over her affiliations.
Latvia - criminal investigation into possible sexual exploitation of Latvian nationals
Australia - pursuing probes linked to names/connections in the files
Sweden - high level resignations; pursuing ties to royal or elite mentions
France - ex-Culture Minister Jack Lang stepped down from Arab World Institute amid tax probe. Ongoing review of public figures, cultural elites and correspondence in the files
Slovakia - ex-Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák resigned as national security adviser.
UN human rights experts have called the files evidence of a “global criminal enterprise” involving systematic sexual abuse and trafficking that may constitute crimes against humanity.
In the United States, the epicenter of the scandal, thanks to Trump and the DOJ refusing to investigate political elite and oligarchs implicated in the files, the fallout has been restricted to the private sector:
Boardroom exits at companies like Hyatt, DP World, Goldman Sachs affiliates; leadership changes at cultural orgs (e.g., Arab World Institute).
Nonetheless, public sentiment here and abroad is clear.
Resignations are wildly insufficient.
Efforts to distract from the files, misinformation campaigns on Mainstream and Social Media are not working.
If not for the bravery of the survivors and some in Congress, the Epstein files would never have seen the light of day.
It has quickly grown beyond party lines.
Republicans and Democrats are finding common ground. Hold all the perpetrators and their enablers accountable, no matter who they voted for, no matter who they are, no matter how much money they have, no matter the impact to the Dow fucking Jones.
Many in MAGA are not letting Trump off the hook for his latest betrayal.
He promised transparency and accountability. What they got was a brazen coverup.
This is about doing what is right. It could be our last moral boundary left.
If we don’t hold this global cabal of evil accountable now, we will never be able to again.
When @grok was asked who spreads the most disinformation on @x - it's response was to name @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk
X have deleted the response, RT it here before they delete this one!
They find it humiliating! RT!
This heartless, hideous thing said that Renee Nicole Good was murdered by her animalistic ICE goons because she was a “domestic terrorist.” KKKristi Noem sickens me — in every conceivable way.
BREAKING: BREAKING: 2016 video of Pete Hegseth exposes staggering hypocrisy: He said the military must refuse unlawful orders, the very stance he is now punishing Sen. Kelly for taking.
Make sure everyone sees this.
🚨HOLY COW: In footage Republicans don’t want you to see, Jack Smith confirms Donald Trump was the CAUSE of January 6.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Marine Scout Sniper Analyzes 4 Angles of Charlie Kirk Assassination Footage —MUZZLE FLASH Seen Proves FBI's Narrative is a LIE! Shot Came from REAR RIGHT, Not Front Roof! 😱
My mind is blown — this video from a former Marine scout sniper with 5 years experience and ballistics teaching background dissects the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 11, 2025, at a Utah university event. He starts with a clean slate, assuming nothing from the FBI, who he says routinely lies, and focuses purely on ballistics from multiple camera views.
What’s in the video (detailed breakdown):
• He maps out four camera angles around Kirk, showing the bullet streak visible in frames from Camera 1, proving trajectory from behind and right, not the front roof where officials claim the shooter was positioned.
• Debunks body armor claims: What looks like a hit on armor is actually Kirk's earpiece and mic cord reacting to the shockwave, demonstrated with his own similar setup; entry wound low on right side, exit on left neck, causing immediate blood and no armor bulge.
• Clears "white hat guy" (Frank Turek, apologetics author): Phone reflection isn't bullet but a military-grade infrared laser sight (850nm range) from the real shooter, visible only on camera, not naked eye; dot moves up phone screen then Kirk is hit split-second later.
• Spots muzzle flash in background: Single-frame white dot in top left of footage, timed 8-10 frames before impact, suggesting vapor trail and confirming alternative shooter location for a smaller caliber round (possibly 9mm or 5.56, not 30-06).
• Explains wound ballistics: Temporary cavity from hit at base of ear/jaw pulls cord, flips earpiece; exit wound gushes blood on shirt instantly, inconsistent with entry; likely instant kill via spine/brain base, not blood loss.
Whether this changes everything or sparks more questions, it's a must-watch for anyone doubting the official lone shooter story in this politically charged killing. Hit play, analyze for yourself, and share to expose the truth! 👀🔁

Hi everyone! I'm Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat and retired U.S. Navy Admiral running against Lauren Boebert here in Colorado.
Can you retweet this and help me get to 1,000 new followers? Let's send Boebert packing next November!
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.
