Albanians continue to gather in droves to prevent the sale of their lands to Jared and Ivanka Kushner to build Epstein Island 2.0.

We should all be following this example.

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Hunter Biden has done a better job of exposing Trump family corruption in a few days on social media than some elected Dems have in their entire terms. Even MAGA voters are listening to him.

Something to think about.

@maxlaughton GMHBA is the best home ground advantage in the comp. Convert 50/50 games into 80/20. Most Interstate clubs & lower drawing clubs become no chance of winning. Good luck to them…just saying you don’t judge them harshly enough. Always seem to get a pass mark, Scott never criticised

Trump Has Lost the Initiative

Iran Just Leveled Up to 4th Superpower.

What Washington and Tel Aviv sold as a swift knockout blow has become a grinding war of attrition — and America no longer sets the pace.
The latest Iranian barrage wasn’t simple tit-for-tat. The U.S. struck a tanker and Qeshm Island; Iran answered by hammering American bases across Kuwait, Bahrain, Erbil and beyond. Hangars flattened, fuel depots gutted, aircraft and radar wrecked. The damage and casualties were far greater — with American blood on allied soil. Trump’s own words said it all: “They were slightly provoked; they were reciprocating.” That’s not strength. That’s damage control.
Far from a setback, this has propelled Iran into a new paradigm. Tehran now stands as the world’s fourth superpower beside the U.S., China, and Russia. Its missiles reached deep, its resilience held firm, and its control of the Strait of Hormuz reshapes global energy.
Crucially, Iran is gradually expelling the United States from the region. Each barrage makes those forward bases more untenable. Gulf allies are recalculating the cost, and the entire architecture of American dominance is crumbling.
This is multipolarity in action. What America meant as dominance only exposed its limits and accelerated the broader shifts underway. The old unipolar era is cracking.
In this round, Iran leveled up.

We are entering a new paradigm.

Had to laugh. Trump now proposing to put 12.5% tariff on Australian goods due to not dealing with slavery. Aust minimum wage has increased to $26.44 ph from 1/7/26. US min wage is checks notes $7.25. Trump is a joke.

Turns out Hunter Biden is actually pretty good at dealing with MAGA idiots.

He answers calmly and with facts.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented.

Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.

"So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir.

"Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media.

"Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't.

"A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media.

"Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage.

And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'"

HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass.

And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments.

There is simply NO comparison!

Please like and share!

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.
