SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.

Additionally, Epstein accomplices Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn and Harry Beller moved significant amounts of cash around the world in order to finance Epstein’s operations. All three former Epstein employees should be investigated for the key role they played in Epstein’s sex trafficking.

My investigators compiled a list of individual employees at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank, the behavior of which merits investigation by federal prosecutors. That list includes:

Top bank execs also knowingly withheld information from federal law enforcement about Epstein’s financial transactions until after his arrest. See here the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by JPMC before and after Epstein’s arrest in 2019.

Top JPMorgan Chase execs coached Epstein on how to withdraw cash through shell companies instead of his personal accounts, helping him conceal information from compliance personnel and government regulators.

Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase likely violated federal anti-money laundering laws by failing to properly screen and report payments from Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein, and underreporting Epstein’s suspicious activity to the Treasury Department.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

When you are defeated in the sense of “unable to achieve your goals” but not defeated in the sense of “unable to continue military operations” then you are perpetually “headed for defeat” until you decide to end it. That’s how you get forever wars.

In Iran, the U.S.
Appears Headed for a Strategic Defeat, Allies

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

The right is never going to forgive scientists for providing the scientific justification for big progressive policy in 2020. Same reason it hates climate scientists. Shutting down was the right move. Big relief programs were the right move. Saved lives.

The right really wants to validate the COVID lab leak conspiracy theory because some version of it can serve to undermine public health as an institution, government, and of course, Fauci. But it’s bullshit and these endless hearings and innuendo are a disgrace to our nation. No justice. Wasted $
