Daily Mail: Jeffrey Epstein Visited Clinton White House at Least 17x, Sometimes 2x a Day
Daily Mail: Jeffrey Epstein Visited Clinton White House at Least 17x, Sometimes 2x a Day:
The fresh revelation comes as Clinton’s ties to Epstein are once again under the microscope thanks to the trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces charges accusing her of recruiting teenage girls for Epstein. On Tuesday, a longtime pilot for Epstein testified in the Maxwell trial that he flew Clinton, former President Donald Trump, and Britain’s Prince Andrew on his former boss’s plane — nicknamed The Lolita Express — but did not witness any sexual activity.

...Whether Hillary Clinton was aware of the crimes committed between 2016 and 2020 to further her political ambitions is a question that may never be answered.
- America’s Nixonian press corps takes a page from the Watergate playbook to try and cover up its active role in the criminal Russiagate hoax
...Whether Hillary Clinton was aware of the crimes committed between 2016 and 2020 to further her political ambitions is a question that may never be answered.
- What has been proved beyond any shadow of doubt by the U.S. Justice Department over the past few months is that top operatives in her 2016 campaign used concocted falsehoods to leverage active law enforcement officials who in turn used U.S. government programs and resources to spy on the Trump campaign—a violation of American political norms whose only real parallel is Watergate.
- We also know that under the pretext of “investigating collusion,” at least 40 Obama officials, including then-Vice President Joe Biden, spied on the Trump team.
...But with Trump now safely out of office, it appears that the cover-up is now cracking wide open.
In other words, all of Russiagate—the initial crime and the criminal cover-up—is based on the dossier.

Dem Rep. Pramila Jayapal quite alarmed by nice day in DC
Dem Rep. Pramila Jayapal quite alarmed by nice day in DC
"For progressive Democrats, there is nothing that can’t be used as evidence that the world has almost doomed itself to a fiery climate change-induced demise. Even nice weather isn’t off-limits, as Rep. Pramila Jayapal helped point out:
Wait, is Rep. Jayapal saying that if we’d have spent a few trillion dollars on the Left’s climate agenda sooner that it would have been colder in DC yesterday? We’re confused.
“Let us spend a ton of money and the weather will change” is some kind of pitch.
Rep. Donalds Drops Harsh Truths About Biden - Louder With Crowder
Rep. Donalds Drops Harsh Truths About Biden - Louder With Crowder:
Rep. Byron Donalds is becoming one of my most favorite members of Congress. Clips like this are the reason why. He took part in a Small Business Committee hearing. While questioning Joe Biden's economic agenda--an agenda that needs to be questioned--Donalds brought up the fact that Joe Biden has never worked a real job in his entire life. Meaning, not one where he wasn't mooching off of taxpayers. Democrat Rep. Nydia Velzquez freaked out and got all gavel-bangingy, claiming Donalds broke decorum by mentioning this true fact. The Republican congressman didn't back down, and I hope his colleagues are taking notes.

United Air to Move Operations Staff to Suburb in Blow to Chicago
"(Bloomberg) -- United Airlines Holdings Inc. plans to move the network operations center that coordinates its flights globally to a Chicago suburb next year, slashing headcount at the carrier’s world headquarters at Blackstone Inc.’s Willis Tower.
The move was announced internally on Thursday and would affect about 900 employees such as managers and technical support staff, United said. About 400 flight dispatchers could eventually join them. The airline is in contract talks with their union, whose collective bargaining agreement requires that they be based at Willis, according to Craig Symons, the union’s leader...Read all.

Elon Musk Celebrates Jack Dorsey Resigning with Stalin Tweet - Louder With Crowder:
Jack Dorsey shook up Twitter on Monday when he announced he was quitting Twitter. I'm not sure if the real world cares that much. Twitter is the least used social media platform. And as Dave Chappelle teaches us, Twitter's not a real place. But quality shitposting is quality shitposting. And Elon Musk came in clutch with a simple meme: incoming CEO Parag Agrawal as Joseph Stalin, disappearing Jack Dorsey.

America is behind in space race China is determined to win
"...A new rising power, China, is looking for places where it can outflank America...
- China’s sometime-ally Russia is also trying harder, and the United States, despite the recent creation of the Space Force, is frankly behind.
- Beijing just tested a hypersonic missile that can deliver nuclear weapons
- and a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System that can place those missiles in hard-to-notice paths or even (though this would violate the Outer Space Treaty) in full orbit.
- China is researching how to build very large structures in space that could support solar-power beaming or military uses.
- Russia recently destroyed a satellite with an anti-satellite weapon in a demonstration of power that has created a debris cloud threatening the International Space Station, Starlink satellites and more.
- And both Russia and China are continuously attacking US satellites...Read all!

Police Release Video of Reporter Following Rittenhouse Jury - Louder With Crowder:
One of the more shocking moments of the Rittenhouse Trial was when MSNBC was caught following the jury bus. Maybe "shocking" isn't the right word. Corporate media made it clear they wanted Kyle lynched. Letting the jury know the media knew who they all were is a way to do that. If not "shocking," it was still f*cked up. The Judge banned MSNBC from the courtroom. Corporate media allies reported MSNBC was banned when some freelancer, James Joseph Morrison, got pulled over for blowing a red light.

The governor vetoed SB 303, SB 304 and a related House bill on Friday, which would have required voters to take additional steps to have their ballot count if they don’t have an ID.
