Most people will know the case from the movie "Mississippi Burning". The case moved a lot of people, and for the first time the FBI was forced to put their power behind such a case and succeeded. Their death was horrible, but not in vain. ⬇️

Sigrid Haugseth, NOR, surprisingly won the third etappe of the Tour de France de Femme after a stupendous 88.5! km solo ride and also gained the yellow jersey (overall leader) and the green jersey number (most combative). Now I'm trying to imagine Norwegians "roe, roe, roe" on bicycles. 😁

Short explainer about possible reasons; my bet is on having Japan not selling treasuries. She is bad, but not fascist enough to take taxpayer money to prop up a Trump ally. Besides, the leak of Bessent's notepad was clearly intentional. He would write 'Yen' or 'JPY', not "Japanese Yen (JPY)"

That is a pretty surprising low percentage, given that they elected a rapist and best friend of Epstein. I guess it's the same with the voters for a Nazi party: at least a third won't fess up to having voted for the Nazis.
