Prosperity and peace are imminently attainable for everyone in this country. We need merely to transcend the parties that keep us fighting each other, throw off the corporate and foreign influence on our government, and return to the principles laid out in our Constitution.

I'll leave a light on, @metpoliceuk...
The UK is a complete Clown World police state. Police raided a 15-year-old's home, arrested him, seized his devices, and collected his DNA over an AI-edited image of a local politician with bunny ears. They’re calling it a hate crime because he also called the guy a 'rent boy.' Since when is an AI meme and an insult a criminal offense?

On Lindsey Graham.
Stay with me on this.
The worst kept secret in Washington DC came out today because 3 brave men came out and told the truth and it doesn’t matter if it is after he’s dead.
Brave?
Yes brave.
Why are they brave?
They had to go on camera and tell intimate details of their personal lives.
To the world.
That is extremely difficult to do. Yes it’s brave. And Stressful. They walked into the public square opening themselves to the opinions of the entire world.
No matter your opinion on the issue, they took a courageous leap in coming forward.
If you are critical, would you go on camera and tell your secrets to the entire world?
I would bet a lot of money you wouldn’t.
Ok but there is more to this.
Because this is the world I saw up close in Washington.
I saw behind the curtain and saw ALL the wizards.
Everyone in the highest levels of power in Washington DC are keeping secrets that would destroy their entire lives.
And that’s exactly why they have power.
Not because they are so smart or qualified or the best choice for leadership.
I mean really, if you think our best and brightest are in charge then do some critical thinking and look at the pathetic state of our debt, our dollar, and how our government is run, and the outcome that affects your life.
Their secrets are the only reason these people rise to the top.
Because their secrets are not secrets.
We all knew Lindsey Graham was gay. Everyone did.
Their secrets are levers of control. Keeps them in line. Makes them a team player. And will make them fight the hardest on issues that don’t make sense in order to keep their secrets just that. Secrets.
So everyone is arguing about how this is old news, why now? Or arguing about being gay, and gay issues. Or arguing because that’s what everyone does on the internet, just argue with each other and with bots about issues they don’t have the real truth on, but throw out their strongest opinion anyways.
I’m here to tell you the granular issue you need to dial in on and block out the rest of the noise.
Three gay men just bravely pulled back the curtain and tried to teach you all the most important lesson America needs to learn.
It’s this.
America’s most powerful leaders keep secrets that comprise them in the most dangerous ways for the security, safety, and prosperity of our nation.
That’s the whole point.
I tried my hardest to fight the entire system on both sides of the aisle and couldn’t beat it because YOU ALL keep voting these people back into office and back into power.
By the way, I always cosponsored the Term Limit bill and no matter who is in charge, Pelosi, McCarthy, or Johnson, Dem or Rep, that bill never ever got even close to getting a vote on the House floor.
So the question for you, The American People, is are you able to learn the lesson and if so, what exactly are YOU going to do about it?
Ask yourself, what are you voting for? Donating to? Volunteering for?
And are you really satisfied with the outcome election cycle after election cycle?
Sounds like Kushner replaced Epstein.
Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.

Every 10-year you adopt helps provide desperately needed collateral to a repo desk somewhere in the Caribbean.
And think of Washington. Somewhere, a lobbyist is waiting anxiously for another trillion dollars of deficit financing to fund a program he helped write.
Without buyers like you, critically endangered appropriations may never reach the consultants, contractors, nonprofits, and donors who depend on them.
You may think you’re buying duration. But to them, you’re buying hope.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
The SEC just issued new exceptions to what constitutes a quorum for their own activities.
Historically, a quorum requires 3 commissioners.
Here are the two new exceptions:
1) if there are less than 3 commissioners in the officer, then that number can constitute a quorum
2) if commissioners are disqualified from voting or partaking in the matter, the quorum threshold can be reduced as well.
This effectively allows a single commissioner to hold a quorum with themself if they are the only one in the office, or if all the other commissioners are disqualified from the matter for some reason or another.
One little note is that commissioners generally self-disqualify so they determine their own eligibility.
Gone are the days of needing commissioners to vote on things. They can just have a single commissioner do it alone.
A single commissioner can enforce action and vote on rules.
TRUMP: I'VE DONE A SHITTY JOB AS PRESIDENT.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was referring to the America.gov launch: "If it is the biggest thing I've ever done, I've done a shitty job as President. But you know what? It's damn good."

Have you ever looked into a cows eyes? There's just not a lot going on there...
JUST IN: Senator Mitch McConnell just filed a new stock trade.
His spouse bought up to $50,000 of Wells Fargo stock, $WFC
Looks like a dividend reinvestment.

Col. Douglas Macgregor on the Iran War: "Iran is not the leading state sponsor of terror. That’s a lie we’ve repeated so many times it’s become absurd. “There is no existential threat to us from Iran. It never was.”
Everything you've been told by this administration has been a lie.
This war was not initiated to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
It was initiated to quench Benjamin Netanyahu's thirst for blood and control.
